In this episode of The Wellness Deep Dive, we explore one of the most overlooked keys to well-being: the pause. Mahmood and Mohannad sit down with Ms. Nancy, Summit's School Counselor and Wellbeing Lead, to unpack why intentional rest is essential for a healthy mind, body, and life.
Ms. Nancy shares what “the pause” means to her personally, how to recognize when it’s time to slow down, and why many people feel guilty about resting. She also offers practical tips for building meaningful rest into busy school and home schedules and explains what happens when we don’t give ourselves time to recharge.
The conversation highlights how rest fuels long-term growth, self-awareness, stronger relationships, and better decision-making. As winter break approaches, Ms. Nancy reflects on reconnecting with loved ones and the importance of unplugging to reset.
A reflective and uplifting episode reminding us that rest isn’t optional, it’s powerful.
Take a deep breath…and dive in.
