Summary

In a culture that glorifies the hustle, it's easy to feel like your worth is tied to your productivity. But what if your value was never about how much you achieve? In this Pep Talk Wednesday episode, we’re diving into the power of rest, the importance of prioritizing joy, and redefining success on your own terms. Your worth isn’t something you earn—it’s already yours, baby.

Pep Talk Challenge: Schedule some personal time for intentional rest, reflect on how it feels to step away from productivity, and then write down three ways resting helped you reconnect with yourself or improved your mood.
