Ep. 018 Get the rest you need: Stop feeling bad about getting rest

Softspaces Podcast

Why do we feel guilty for resting?

Somewhere along the way, we started believing that rest has to be earned, that slowing down makes us lazy, and that if we’re not constantly productive, we’re somehow falling behind. But the truth? Rest is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
In this episode of Softspaces Podcast, we’re unpacking:
✨ Why we feel guilty about resting and how to unlearn it
✨ How rest actually fuels success, creativity, and overall well-being
✨ Practical ways to give yourself permission to rest—without guilt
If you’ve ever struggled to slow down, set boundaries, or rest without feeling "unproductive," this conversation is for you. Let’s rewrite the story around rest and finally give ourselves the space we deserve.
