When to Push Through vs. When to Rest
from The Next Step with Corrie Lo · host Corrie LoGiudace
This summer, I made a bold move - I put my business on sabbatical. Not because I couldn't keep going, but because I realized the most strategic thing I could do was pause. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how I knew it was time to rest instead of push - and how you can tell the difference in your own life and leadership. If you've been stuck in go-go-go mode and you're wondering if you're just tired or actually done, this one's for you. I TALK ABOUT: Why I chose to rest during my busiest season yet (and how it's actually helping my business) The sneaky signs that it's time for a break - like resenting the work you used to love or feeling disconnected no matter how productive you are What strategic rest really looks like (spoiler: it's not doing nothing - it's doing the right things with clarity and intention) TIMESTAMPS: [00:00] Why I chose to take a summer sabbatical - and how it aligned with my 2024 word of the year, EASY [01:45] Reframing rest as a strategic repositioning, not quitting [03:10] The signs it was time to pause: resentment, fatigue, and feeling disconnected - even while being productive [05:30] What rest looks like in real life for me and my team (it's not a total shutdown!) [08:15] How we're maintaining momentum with minimal effort [09:40] How this reset is helping me be present for my kids (Camp Mommy, anyone?) [11:00] Why you don't need to "earn" your rest - and how a mentor helped me see it differently using powerlifting [12:20] How rest helps you break through your next plateau [13:00] My challenge to you: What's your biggest clue that it's time to rest instead of push through?
