Back to Episodes#250 - You're Allowed to Rest Without Feeling Guilty with TyNia Brandon
Description
Have you ever been so busy chasing your dreams that you forgot to take care of yourself?
Because we've been there.
TyNia Brandon is back, and today we're talking about REST. Not just sleeping in or taking a vacation, but actually giving yourself permission to stop before your body makes that decision for you.
TyNia shares how juggling college, pageantry, work and performing left her completely exhausted. And I open up about what happened after my Broadway show closed and I suddenly didn't want to audition for ANYTHING.
We're talking about:
- Why creative people have such a hard time slowing down
- What happens when you ignore your body's needs
- The permission to be a whole person outside your career
- Why rest doesn't always mean doing nothing
- Finding joy in things that don't have to become your job
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is give yourself room to LIVE.
When was the last time you rested without feeling like you needed to earn it?
