In this episode of Chasing Brighter, Jessica and Kelly continue the February theme of Reset, Rest, Reconnect with a conversation so many women need to hear:
What if the reason rest feels uncomfortable… is conditioning, not weakness?
We say we want rest.
But when we slow down, we feel guilt. Anxiety. Panic.
Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned:
Especially for Gen X and Millennial women raised to be capable, accommodating, and endlessly reliable, rest isn’t just physical — it’s emotional.
In this episode, we gently challenge that belief.
We created a 7-Day Brighter Challenge — a self-love reset designed to help you reconnect with yourself in small, doable ways.
It’s free when you subscribe to our monthly newsletter (we promise not to overwhelm your inbox).
👉 Head to http://chasingbrighter.com to download it and start your reset with us.
