Summary

We say we want more holiday. We plan for rest. Yet, when the chance comes, we fill the space with busyness – or feel guilty for stopping. Why do we struggle so much with something so simple? In this episode of the PiXL Pearls Podcast, Rachel Johnson (CEO, PiXL) explores the paradox of rest. From Netflix's experiment with unlimited holidays to the seven types of rest we all need, this conversation reveals why rest is more than just sleep or a trip abroad. This is about why leaders must model it if they want their teams to thrive. Expect reflection, challenge, and practical insights to help you reclaim rest, not as a luxury, but as a leadership necessity. If you enjoyed PiXL Pearls...
