Listen "From Overwork to Enough: Making Time for Mind and Body | Dr. Brittany Peters"
Episode Synopsis
Are you giving yourself the same energy you give to your job?In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Brittany Peters, behavioral health expert, licensed clinician, and educator, brings wisdom, humor, and deep vulnerability to the Work is Third podcast. We explore the socialization of productivity culture, the survival strategies that many high-achieving women carry into adulthood, and the importance of rewriting our personal “policies and procedures” to include rest, joy, and boundaries. From 5 a.m. workouts to Half Dome hikes, from tacos to gratitude practices, Brittany reminds us that honoring our own time is not selfish — it’s necessary. We discuss how marginalized communities lose time through systemic inequities, how to protect our calendars, and why affirming “I have enough, I do enough, I am enough” can shift everything.Guest Info· Website: https://www.leadclinically.com/· Socials: @leadclinically📚 Resources MentionedThe Joyful Rebellion newsletter & Five-Minute Rebellion challengeWasfia Nazreen (first Bangladeshi woman to climb the Seven Summits)Wheeler Peak, NM (highest point in New Mexico)Yosemite’s Half Dome hike (lottery permit system)Research on racial inequities in wait times for services: Examining inequality in the time cost of waiting 💬 Key Quotes“You have enough.
