Episode Details

If you’re exhausted, unmotivated, or mentally fried, this episode is for you.
I’m sitting down with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, researcher, and author of Sacred Rest, to talk about the 7 different types of rest — and why getting more sleep isn’t the real solution to burnout.

Dr. Saundra explains how true rest goes beyond naps or vacations — it’s about recharging the areas where your energy is being drained: mentally, emotionally, socially, creatively, and more. She also shares how building a rest ethic (just like a work ethic!) can help you feel productive, peaceful, and joyful again.

If you’ve been pushing yourself nonstop, this conversation will help you understand why rest isn’t lazy — it’s powerful. You’ll walk away knowing exactly what kind of rest you’re missing and how to get it.

✨ We talk about:

• The 7 types of rest — and how to tell which one you need most
  
  
• The real signs of burnout (and why sleep alone won’t fix it)
  
  
• The difference between “fake rest” and restorative rest
  
  
• How to build a healthy rest ethic without losing your drive
  
  
• Simple ways to recharge your mind and body in five minutes or less
  
  
• Why true rest makes you more creative, focused, and happy
