In case you need this: Need to Do Nothing for a While? It's Okay If You Just Rest

This is episode 9 of my other podcast: It’s Okay If… Permission Slips for Mental Health, Self-Acceptance, and Growth --- Doing nothing can feel uncomfortable, especially when you care deeply about your work, your goals, or the people you're showing up for. But sometimes, pushing through becomes too much. This short reflection is a reminder that rest isn’t laziness. Taking a break isn’t a failure. Pausing doesn’t mean you’ve given up – it means you’re listening to what you need. If you’re feeling the weight of burnout, this is your permission slip to stop producing for a moment, to let things breathe, and to remember that stillness is its own kind of strength.
