Are you carrying more than anyone sees? Do you confuse exhaustion with inadequacy? This gentle yet powerful episode challenges the harmful belief that rest equals weakness.Through thoughtful reflection, I explore why creators and visionaries often struggle to give themselves permission to pause. With compassionate insight, I dismantle the false equivalencies we've accepted: that tiredness means failure, that needing rest indicates laziness. For the purpose-driven person whose mind constantly buzzes with ideas and possibilities, this message offers a crucial reframing.The truth resonates throughout: you aren't lazy—your creative aspirations prove that. You aren't unmotivated—your desire to make an impact demonstrates your drive. And you certainly aren't weak—your persistence despite challenges reveals your strength. What you might be is simply tired, and that's not only okay but expected.Drawing wisdom from spiritual tradition, I remind listeners that even the Creator of the universe built rest into the rhythm of existence. If divine power acknowledges the necessity of pause, how much more should we honour our human need for restoration? This episode provides practical encouragement to intentionally plan rest, embrace pausing without explanation, and find balance through deliberate stillness.Whether you're building a creative practice, pursuing meaningful work, or simply trying to show up authentically in your life, this message grants permission to breathe again.
