In this soul-nourishing episode of Rise & Thrive with Dr. J. Nicole, Dr. Stacia Thompson, author of PAUSE: The Power of Intentional Rest, joins Dr. J. Nicole to have an honest conversation about burnout, hustle culture, and the divine importance of slowing down. Together, they unpack how constantly chasing productivity can distance us from our peace, purpose, and connection with God — and why learning to pause on purpose can be a radical act of healing.
Through wisdom, humor, and practical tools for stress management, self-care, and spiritual alignment, Dr. Stacia and Dr. J. Nicole invite you to stop glorifying exhaustion and start honoring your need for rest. Because true productivity doesn’t come from grinding harder — it comes from grounding deeper.
