Ruth is joined by Nikki St Paul to explore the underestimated strength of rest in our lives. They tackle the stigmas attached to rest and why it's a crucial element of success, not a sign of laziness. Nikki will share her transformative journey towards embracing rest, which led to a surge in clarity and inner wisdom. We also share how changing our beliefs about productivity can actually enhance our growth and why being present and mindful can make all the difference. Nikki's expertise as a mind, body, and breath coach will guide us through incorporating rest into our daily routines, finding true alignment in our goals, and the power of taking intentional breaks to recharge.
