Why You’re Bad at Rest and How to Fix It
Most of us are terrible at rest. We say we’re “relaxing” when we’re really just distracting ourselves — scrolling, binge-watching, dysfunctionally numbing, and zoning out. But real rest? The kind that actually recharges your brain and body? That’s something completely different.
And here’s the kicker: you can’t force relaxation. You can’t grind your way into it like a to-do list task. It’s not about doing nothing — it’s about doing the right kind of nothing. That invites our body’s natural restorative systems to get to work.
In this episode, we’re breaking it all down:

Why your nervous system makes rest harder than it should be
The difference between relaxation and distraction (and why it matters)

What actually activates your body’s recovery mode
Why stress, illness, and modern life keep you stuck in “high alert” mode

How to finally give your body the kind of rest it actually needs

Because rest isn’t a luxury — it’s fuel. It’s valuable for its own sake, but it’s also how you restore your capacity to do everything else. It’s even more crucial for those of who live with a chronic diagnosis and have far less margin. So if you feel like you’re running on fumes, this episode is for you.
Listen now. Your body will thank you.
