Ep 47: Scheduling rest is essential
This week I am focusing on how to rest. Getting rest is essential. We have to celebrate rest. Rest is just as important as working hard, if not more. Rest allows us to create great work without destroying ourselves in the process. I've had a lot of problems with getting rest in my past. I used to stay up and work late into the night so much that I was actually hurting my ability to do good work. How do you prioritize rest?

This week is a solo episode where I share a HUGE milestone in my journey. I shared it on Twitter and thank you to all the kind words and support.

Like most stories, this wasn't fast, easy or without a lot of work from me and support from so many others. I break it all down and walk you through how I got here.
