Permission to Rest: Why "Doing Nothing" is Actually Doing Something 🌿

The New Year usually comes with a loud message: Go, go, go! But what if your body is telling you to stay under the covers a little longer? 🛌✨

In this week’s episode of the Brighter Podcast, BatSheva and Chelsea are getting real about the pressure to be productive when all we really want to do is hibernate. We’re breaking down why society makes us feel guilty for resting and why "permission to rest" is actually a vital ingredient for your growth, clarity, and creativity.

In this episode, we explore:

✅ The science behind why your brain needs "stillness" to stay sharp.

✅ Why New Year’s resolutions often clash with our natural biological rhythms.

✅ Practical ways to practice self-compassion when you’re feeling burnt out.

✅ Our "Daily W" (Wins, Wows, and Wishes) focused on renewal.

Stop fighting the urge to slow down. Tune in and learn how to honor your body’s needs without the guilt. It's time to embrace the art of stillness.
