In this conversation, leadership coach and rest advocate Cherese Brauer shares her transformative journey from workaholism to embracing an unhurried pace of living. We explore how prioritizing rest has reawakened her imagination, creativity, and authentic voice, fundamentally changing her approach to leadership and life.
Drawing from her personal rest practices and deep commitment to self-trust, Cherese reveals how operating at an unhurried pace has become essential to her well-being, leadership, and ability to design a "swoon-worthy life." Her path from exhaustion to flourishing offers a powerful testament to what becomes possible when we center rest as a form of resistance and self-love.
In this episode, we explore:
- How exhaustion extinguishes imagination and limits our sense of possibility
- The revolutionary act of putting rest first rather than treating it as an afterthought
- Creating spacious, unhurried days that honor your true desires and authentic self
- Moving from "proving your worth" to designing a life of ease and joy
- Providing safe harbor for Black women leaders to flourish through rest practices
Experience a guided rest practice focused on future planning and returning to the present moment. Discover how embracing rest can transform not just your approach to leadership but your relationship with yourself, revealing the abundance of options available when you operate from a place of ease rather than exhaustion.
