Dilemma: I'm scared to slow down

This week’s dilemma:

"I’m scared to slow down."

In this minisode, we respond to a message from Abbie, who’s found herself longing for a slower, more spacious life but every time she tries to rest, she panics.

She’s tired of the hustle, the striving, the constant pressure to be productive. But guilt creeps in whenever she tries to stop. Even a quiet moment feels like falling behind.

We talk about why rest feels so scary for high performers, how to recognise internalised productivity pressure and what it really means to opt out of the fast lane without losing your ambition or sense of self.

If you’ve ever struggled to sit still, say no, or give yourself a break, this one’s for you.

Useful resources:

The Rest Reset is a guided audio course designed to help you reclaim rest on your own terms. It’s short, practical and designed for busy brains. Whether you're on the edge of burnout or just want to slow down without losing momentum, The Rest Reset offers tools and insights to help you stop running on empty. Explore it here.
