#004 Ever finally slow down… only to feel guilty for it?

In this real-life reset, therapist and educator Candace David shares what happened on a family trip when “rest” turned into another kind of work, and how she learned to quiet the guilt that shows up when you finally stop.

You’ll learn The Rest Reset, a simple three-step framework to help your busy brain pause without panic and find calm again:
• Pause on Purpose — Notice the urge to fill quiet space.
• Ground in the Present — Anchor in your senses to remind your body it’s safe to rest.
• Choose Ease, Not Empty — Replace pressure with presence instead of forcing stillness.

Because rest isn’t a reward for finishing everything, it’s how you remind your body that you’re already enough.
