EP59 - Embrace Your Soft Girl Season: Slowing Down is Not a Weakness

As the year draws to a close, burnout can feel inevitable for many, which is why I decided to end 2024 with a relatable exploration of the importance of slowing down and embracing rest.  I talk about the need to pause and recharge, especially during a time when societal pressures often push us toward productivity and goal-setting. I also unpack the systemic and personal obstacles to slowing down, shed light on the benefits of rest, and offer practical tips to help you embrace a softer, more intentional season. Slowing down is not a weakness; it’s a powerful act of self-care and resilience that allows you to truly honor your needs. In this episode you will learn: Why acknowledging burnout is essential How to challenge societal pressures and listen to your needs What may make rest feel difficult or guilt-inducing Ways to examine the beliefs you’ve inherited about work, rest, and “laziness” The benefits of slowing down for yourself and those around you My 4 practical tips to embrace your soft girl season and truly slow down - This was the last episode of the Worthwild podcast for 2024!
