We often think of rest as just sleep or time off—but what if the reason you're still exhausted after a full night's sleep is because you're not getting the right kind of rest?

In this episode of Permission to Pause, I explore the 7 types of rest popularized by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, who identified seven distinct areas where we can feel depleted:

• Physical

• Mental

• Emotional

• Social

• Sensory

• Creative

• Spiritual

I’ll walk you through what each type of rest actually means, how to recognize which one you’re missing, and simple, compassionate ways to begin replenishing yourself—without needing a two-week vacation or a full life overhaul.

This is your permission to pause… and rest in the ways your body and mind actually need.
