Have you ever tried to relax, only to be ambushed by that voice in your head whispering, “You should be working”? The tug-of-war between pressure and rest is where we begin in this episode of Your Thoughts at Work. I'm joined by Matt Goodman, an entrepreneur building a protein bar company who simply wants to watch an NBA game without guilt knocking at the door. We explored the belief that hits him while he's on the couch tuning into the game: “If I’m not working, it won’t happen.” As we questioned that thought, something unexpected appears: that relentless voice demanding productivity isn’t the enemy - it’s part of his team. By the end, he discovers that letting go doesn’t stall progress - it makes space for creativity to take the lead. And that the burnout of overwork is what really gets in the way. If you’ve ever struggled to slow down or felt guilty for taking a break, I hope this conversation will remind you that rest can be a powerful collaborator, not a threat.
