49. Adulting Challenges: Choosing Rest Over Reset

This episode contrasts the viral "Sunday reset" with a gentler "Sunday recharge," featuring a somewhat anonymous Substack creator, who writes about choosing rest rather than productivity. It highlights simple life advice, sharing practices that can refill your energy instead of exhausting it. Beth reflects on how prioritizing small restorative habits reduces stress and impulse spending, offers permission to make Sunday your own opportunity to recharge and feel better about the week ahead.If you're seeking personal growth, mental wellbeing, and emotional intelligence as you navigate adulthood, this episode is just right for you!About this week’s featured contributor: I write about anxiety, social anxiety, shame, and the chaos of being human — with honesty, softness, and sometimes sharp edges.
