Rest Is a Skill I Never Learned

I left my job a month ago with one plan: do less. It's been one month. I have nine projects on the go. Nobody asked me to start any of them. This episode is about what happens when you finally get the freedom you've been craving and realise you have no idea what to do with it. I talk about how hustle culture shaped my ambition and my inability to stop, a question my therapist asked that I still can't answer, the fact that I literally made an Episode 7 about rest and still couldn't take my own advice, and Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's seven types of rest framework that's helping me understand why sleep isn't fixing anything. No tidy ending on this one. I'm still in it.References mentioned: Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.
