About this listen

What if doing nothing is exactly what your nervous system needs? In this episode, I’m diving into the overlooked (and totally underrated) power of intentional stillness. I talk about why your brain actually thrives when you’re not being productive, how rest supports physical healing, and what “doing nothing” really means in a world that worships hustle. Plus, I’ll share simple ways to practice doing nothing—without feeling guilty. If you’ve been burned out or you're just sick of trying to fix yourself, this episode is your permission slip to just… exist.
