Listen "EP 17 | You Don't Need To Earn Your Right to Rest: Your Rest is No Longer Up for Debate! "
Episode Synopsis
Rest. It seems so simple, yet for many of us, it's a radical concept we're still learning to embrace. Many of us claim to be good at reacting but we’ve just mastered the art of fake resting: binge-watching Netflix shows while our minds race or collapsing from exhaustion isn't rest—it's often just dissociation from burnout. Rest isn't a reward—it's a requirement for human existence. You deserve rest simply because you exist, not because you've checked everything off your to-do list.Points highlighted in this episode: • The differences between true rest and just dissociating from burnout• True rest means mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical replenishment—not just physical inactivity• How cultural programming, especially for marginalized groups, teaches us that rest must be earned through productivity• Why many of us learned that rest comes only after all work is done, creating adults who struggle to rest without guilt• Learning to rest requires patience, self-compassion, and intentional practice.We wrap the episode by reminding you that as you embark on your own rest journey, remember to approach yourself with compassion. Unlearning lifelong habits takes time and practice. ~Where You Can Find Me~: Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/5BbC588eUekngi5QkrRbssApple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-can-faith-that/id1766168795Tik Tok: @i.can.faith.that.podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Restful-And-Softly-RootedSign Up For 1 to 1 Coaching With Me: www.trishjconsulting.comFor business inquiries (collaborations, speaking engagements, sponsorships, etc): https://www.trishjconsulting.com/business-inquiry or email [email protected] us a textSupport the show
