Season 12 - EP 133: A Roadmap to REST | How high achievers recalibrate their busy life and replace perfection with purpose
Jan 01, 2023
This season, we’re RECLAIMING REST: why we don’t make it a priority, why we feel guilty about needing it, and most importantly, how to personalize our rest and make it achievable on a micro level.
When you’re living in a perpetual state of exhaustion, it’s time to ask yourself how much self-sacrifice you’re engaging in, and whose values you’re living by.
All of this busyness and exhaustion is an invitation to replace perfection with purpose.
