Why Am I Still Tired After Vacation? The Rest You're Actually Missing | Ep. 302

Last month, we explored play. This month, we're slowing down to explore something just as important, but often misunderstood: rest.

Because here's the thing. You can get eight hours of sleep, take a vacation, or spend an entire weekend "doing nothing" and still feel completely exhausted.

So what if the problem isn't that you need more rest?

What if you need a different kind?

In this episode, I'm unpacking some of the biggest myths we carry about rest and introducing the powerful framework of the seven types of rest from Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith.

Together, we explore:

why sleep isn't the only kind of rest your body needs

the difference between play, restoration, and true rest

why so many high-achieving women feel guilty slowing down

how productivity culture teaches us to earn our rest

the seven different types of rest and how to recognize which one you're missing

why vacations don't always leave us feeling refreshed
