231: Slowing Down and Building Resilience Over the Holidays

The holiday season is often a busy and chaotic time, but what if this year, you chose to slow down? In this episode, I explore the transformative power of slowing down and give you helpful tools for building resilience and creating space for rest so you can set yourself up, not just for a great holiday season, but for long-term growth in your leadership and personal life.

I dive into:

• The link between rest and resilience, and why rest isn't an indulgence—it's essential
• Why we struggle to slow down and how to overcome the pull of overcommitment
• The simple shifts you can make to create space for restoration, even during a packed holiday season
• Tangible benefits of restoration: improved relationships, reduced stress, and enhanced focus and creativity
