Summary

Are you stuck in one lane, afraid to explore the deeper parts of who you are? Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith joins Ginny Yurich to discuss the tension of becoming—the uncomfortable yet necessary process of stepping into our fullest selves. Together, they unpack why so many people resist change, the hidden attacks that come when we embrace growth, and how rest is more than sleep—it's a way of life. Dr. Dalton-Smith shares insights from her latest book, Being Fully Known, and her groundbreaking framework on the seven types of rest, challenging us to rethink work-life balance and instead pursue work-life harmony. This conversation is packed with wisdom on identity, courage, and finding the sacred part of your work.

0:04.4	1000 Hours Outside. And I have a wonderful guest today. You're going to relate with her so well
0:09.1	talking about balance and rest and stillness and trying to figure out how to kind of sort our work
0:16.0	and our life out together at the same time. Dr. Sandra Dalton Smith, welcome. Thank you so much for having me.
