61. Giving Myself Permission to Rest.. & You Can Too

from Happiness with Jess · host Jess Knapp

In this episode, Jess dives into a topic that’s often overlooked but incredibly important—rest. In a world that constantly pushes us to stay productive, finding the right balance between work and rest can be a real challenge. Over the past few months, Jess has been navigating a personal journey of caregiving and grief, which led her to step back from work and content creation. While taking this break was necessary, she still grappled with guilt and the pressure to keep going—something many of us face in today’s hustle culture.In this episode, Jess will share why we often resist rest, how our mindsets around productivity can harm our health, and the subtle signs your body might be sending you to slow down. She’ll also explore how to shift your mindset so that rest becomes a vital tool for your health and well-being, rather than just a reward for being “good.” If you’re struggling to slow down or feel guilty when you do, this episode is for you.For more content on self-love, health, fitness and more, you can follow her on Instagram at https://instagram.com/happ.i.ness.jess?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
