Ep: 39 Why Is It So Hard to Rest? The Hidden Gift in Slowing Down with Sarah and Zoe
In this episode, executive coach and host Sarah Schmidt and our 21-year-old bestie Zoe explore why rest feels so hard and why so many of us feel guilty, ashamed, or “behind” when we slow down. They unpack the childhood messages, family patterns, and productivity conditioning that taught us rest is lazy, weak, or unsafe. After both being forced into rest through illness, they share what surrender revealed: deeper self-worth, clarity, and the truth that rest is where our real answers live. This conversation reframes rest as strength, healing, and purpose.
