you're not lazy; you're tired.

About this episode

Hi there Beautiful,

You're not lazy, you're just tired.

are you beating yourself up for being human?

do you feel guilty when you're resting?

do you feel shame around rest and relaxation?

you're not alone.

hustle culture makes us feel like we're not doing enough.

It's never enough enough.

you have to give yourself permission to rest.

much love, joy and peace,

Alecia
