13. I Love It When She Chooses Rest

Okay, my love... this one’s coming straight from the messy middle. I’m literally recording while sick, because this past month I did the thing I swore I’d never do again: I overbooked myself, spread my energy too thin, and my body finally pulled the emergency brake.

And maybe you’ve been there too... feeling like life and business are running you instead of the other way around. That’s what this episode is all about: getting honest about the overwhelm, then gently recalibrating your calendar, your mindset, your rituals, and your energy so you can step into a new season feeling aligned, rested, and magnetic again.

Inside this episode, we dive into:
🌙 Naming your overwhelm (and why that alone is powerful)
🌙 Doing a reality check on your calendar + cutting the noise
🌙 The rituals that keep you grounded when life feels chaotic
🌙 Shifting your mindset from shame to grace
🌙 Why rest isn’t lazy—it’s strategy
🌙 Balancing passion with play so your energy actually expands
🌙 Writing your own “stop-doing” list to protect your peace
🌙 Setting intentions for a new season (like my Boston unplug trip!)
🌙 Permission slips you need to hear right now

If you’ve been stretched thin, disconnected from yourself, or running on fumes lately, this is your reminder that overwhelm isn’t who you are, it’s just information. You get to slow down, recalibrate, and choose rest without guilt.

Because the truth is: the most magnetic version of you is the one who knows she’s worthy of rest, worthy of joy, and worthy of building a life that actually feels like hers.

Take a breath. Hit play. And let’s walk this one out together. 💫
