FEELING THINGS - The Guilt of Doing Nothing + Is Your Work Ethic Actually a Trauma Response? (Couch Talks)

Why does relaxing feel so hard? Why does sitting on the couch for 20 minutes feel like a moral failure? We break down the guilt of "unfinished" downtime, the pressure to turn every hobby into a side hustle, and why rest isn't something you have to earn. Plus, a listener question on feeling worthy that isn't tied to what you can do for others. We also share some workout recs that came in for Amy's weightlifting journey, plus a voicemail from a listener who wants Kat to know just how powerful (and even euphoric) an unmedicated birth experience can be, straight from someone who's done it twice.
