Feeling Burned Out? How to Plan a Restfu...

Rebecca Olson
About this episode

In this week's episode of the podcast, I’m handing you a permission slip to take real rest this summer—without guilt, over-explaining, or waiting for the perfect moment. If you've ever said, “I just don’t have time for a break” or “I’ll rest after this project wraps,” this episode is your wake-up call. I’m breaking down the 5 most common excuses working moms use to avoid time off—and giving you actionable ways to make unplugging not just possible, but joyful. If you want more memories and less burnout this summer, don’t miss this one.  

Topics in this episode:

  • The top 5 excuses moms use to avoid rest—and how to debunk them 
  • Why “I don’t have time” is never the real reason 
  • How delegating (even badly!) is better than doing it all 
  • The truth about rest and productivity (hint: they’re best friends) 
  • A practical roadmap to take some time off, even in a full season
