Listen "Episode 148: You're Closer to Rest Than You Think: How I Found Rest in the Middle of a Stressful Work Day"
Episode Synopsis
What if the gap between burned out hot mess and well-rested badass is… just five minutes?
In Epidosde 148 of Medium Lady Talks, Erin shares a personal moment from a wildly stressful workday where a handful of tiny, intentional choices helped her find real rest—without escaping, quitting, or checking out. This is a grounded, gentle episode that proves rest is not about perfection. It’s about margin.
✨ Inside this episode:
The story of a high-stress day and the 5-minute pause that changed everything
A live, personal example of mental and sensory rest in action
What happens when you interrupt hustle culture in real time
The return of our favorite themes: moral math, decision fatigue, and the lie that you have to earn rest
A toolkit of 7 Well-Rested Badass questions to help you find relief, even in motion
You’ll also hear reflections that build on:
Ep 144: Sacred Rest & Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith
Ep 145: Are You Proud of Being Tired?
Ep 146: When My Eye Stops Twitching
Ep 147: The Toxic To-Do List
This episode is proof that you’re closer to rest than you think.
