This podcast is all about being your authentic self, living your life with purpose, and taking a chance on things you’ve always wanted to try. I started this podcast to give you what I wish I had a few years ago when I felt stuck, like I was checking all the boxes and getting nowhere in my life. I want to be that for you - someone in your corner believing that “yes, you fucking can”, reminding you there’s nothing wrong with you, and rooting for you to achieve whatever you decide success looks like for you.

Rest Is Not Lazy: How Intentional Self-Care Fuels Creative Entrepreneurs

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of shifting from constant hustle to intentionally embracing rest and self-care. I talk about how “romanticizing rest” became a key part of my Fierce Framework, and how treating rest as something sacred has changed the way I show up in both life and business.

I know that rest isn’t always accessible or easy, so I’m also naming the privilege that can come with having more spaciousness. But I truly believe that rest, in whatever form you can access, is powerful. Especially for entrepreneurs like us who are constantly pouring our energy into others.

If you’ve been feeling like you need permission to slow down or make rest a priority, this episode is for you. I’m also sharing a few ways to make rest feel more intentional, cozy, and supportive in your everyday life. And if you’re curious about working together, I’ve got details about my free mini coaching sessions too.

Rest is not the opposite of productivity. When done intentionally, rest can boost your clarity, creativity, and ability to show up fully in your work.
"Romanticizing" rest makes it feel more sacred and special. Think cozy coffee rituals, reading with candles, or intentional time outside. Romanticizing doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective.
Entrepreneurs often burn out by pouring all their energy into others. Recharging is actually a crucial part of your job when you're building a purpose-driven business.
Rest doesn’t have to feel natural right away. Like any practice, creating restful routines takes intention, experimentation, and time.
You don’t have to “earn” your rest. Worthiness is not tied to productivity. You are allowed to rest simply because you’re human.
Self-care is a process, not a one-off event. Whether it’s hammocking in a park or lighting a candle during your morning coffee, small moments add up.
