Listen "Learning (the hard way) to rest"
Episode Synopsis
It’s been a little while since my last dog walk thoughts recording - partly because it’s been scorching hot so I've been walking my dogs more at night, partly because I’ve been navigating some pretty relentless health challenges.
In this episode, I share a raw and meandering update from the middle of a very sharp wheat field (not my best decision), reflecting on recent pain, a brilliant GP, and the rollercoaster of being off my ADHD meds after a busy few weeks of work and travel.
I talk about the tricky balance between productivity and recovery, the emotional impact of doing too much too fast, and my ongoing struggle with switching off - even when my body is screaming at me to rest. If you’ve ever found yourself in that all-or-nothing cycle of doing, crashing, and doing again…this one’s for you.
Come for the reflections, stay for the sound of dogs chasing rabbits in the background!
