Rested and Still Struggling

We’re often told that rest is the reset we need — that once we slow down, motivation and clarity will magically return. But what if that’s not how it actually works? In this honest and reflective episode of the Make Learning Magical podcast, Tisha Richmond shares what it looked like to truly rest… and then come home feeling unexpectedly stuck. From returning from vacation to binge-watching TV instead of diving back in, this episode explores the quiet shame, overwhelm, and resistance that can show up after we finally pause. If you’ve ever rested and wondered, “Why can’t I just get going?”...this episode is for you. Connect with Tisha on Instagram @tishrichmond, X @tishrich, and TikTok @TishaRichmond.
