Ep. 044 Untangling Guilt from the Notion of Rest

Press play below to listen to the episode:

In sparking more conversations about routine and consistency, I received a lot of interesting feedback. Many people are drawn to keeping track of daily or weekly tasks, but the resistance to add “take a break” to the list seems to be strong.

Tune in for some reflections on why “guilt” and “rest” are often intertwined for women, and stick around for a few ideas on how to untangle yourself and your sense of self worth from toxic productivity.

Until we succeed in untangling guilt from the notion of rest, we will remain entrapped in toxic productivity’s central, yet false, claim that we are only worth as much as we can produce.
