If you find it hard to rest even when you know you need it, this episode is for you.After Christmas and a week where we both chose to slow down, we realised how uncomfortable rest can still feel, especially as photographers who love what we do.In this episode, we cover:• Why we struggle to rest when our income is tied to effort• The guilt around resting and where it comes from• How we link our worth to productivity• Reframing rest as essential for creativity and clarity• What helps us actually choose rest• What rest can look like for photographersWe talk about planning rest, taking small breaks, and simple ways to slow down like days without shooting or editing, no social media, time in nature, and creating just for joy.This is a reminder that rest is not something you earn after burnout. It is part of staying inspired and in the long game.Listen now with love,Leo + Nami aka The Female Soulpreneurs ✨💘⁠⁠ Join us in Raglan on the 14th of March 2026⁠💘⁠⁠Join us in Sydney on the 11th of April 2026⁠⁠💘⁠⁠Join us in Biarritz France on the 16th of May 2026⁠💘⁠⁠Learn what other creators get paid with FYPMFind us online: The Female Soulpreneurs (Yes, that's us!) ⁠@thefemalesoulpreneurs⁠ ⁠Leonie: @surfgirlnz⁠ ⁠Nami: @nami.creative
