    Oct 24 2025
    Ep. 220 If you’ve been pouring from an empty cup, this is your reminder that rest isn’t a luxury—it’s necessary for healing and restoration. As women, we’re taught to keep adding—roles, goals, responsibilities—until rest feels “unnatural.” During the Aligned Entrepreneur Pod-a-Thon, I sat down with Sleep Coach Soda Kuczkowski to name that conditioning, release the guilt, and practice rest as a pathway to healing and aligned leadership. We unpack why exhaustion became the norm and how to restore clarity, creativity, and peace with science-backed habits that actually fit a real woman’s life.
