In this episode, we’re flipping the script on hustle culture and unpacking why rest is revolutionary in a capitalist world that profits off your exhaustion. From the guilt we feel when we slow down to the systems that benefit from our burnout this one’s for everyone who’s ever felt like they have to earn their rest.


We’re talking real talk:

• Why rest feels illegal under capitalism

• Rest as protest and power

• Practical ways to reclaim your time and energy


If you’re tired of being tired, press play.

Rest loud. Rest proud. The grind can wait.
