Rest isn't a reward. It's a requirement. New Summer Playlist episode with Becky Mollenkamp — burnout, women's invisible labor, and what actually helps 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis... #BurnoutinWomen #Burnout #BurnoutRecovery #restasresistance

Are you kidding me Meta/Instagram? The DEFAULT setting is to ALLOW people to use my photos and videos in AI? You can f’ off. We’re done.

I've called my dental insurance provider for clarification about benefits and did the online renewal of my passport. I'm just celebrating the adulting going on here. 🎉

You're not lazy. You're depleted. Talked invisible labor, burnout, and what real rest actually requires with Becky Mollenkamp — kicking off my Summer Playlist series 🎧 #WomenBurnout #Invisiblelabor www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

Why do women burn out at almost twice the rate of men? A lot of it is invisible labor — the stuff that never makes the to-do list but wrecks you anyway. New pod episode w/ @beckymollenkamp on burnout + rest 🎧 #WomenBurnout #BurnoutRecovery www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

I shouldn't have to swear at one of those automated customer service lines to get basic service. But, that's what I did with Fedex and I was finally (after more than a month) got service.

This short, powerful episode of the podcast is for you think you need to power through. #JustRestPodcast #RestAffirmations 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

Naps = kindness. I get behind that.

I actually loved sharing the messy, imperfect story of starting my indie podcast, Just Rest, with my guest interviewer, Taina Brown. Takeaway: Just start your new thing, mess and all. #MessyStarts #IndiePodcasting #LetGoPerfectionism 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

You are worthy of rest. Just your occassional reminder. #RestisResistance #RestisLiberation #JustRest

Y'all I have a fantastic episode of the pod coming out tomorrow. I let coach, podcaster and amazing human Taina Brown interview ME. On my own pod. Yes. I did that thing. Tune in tomorrow for Just Rest: Burnout Tips for Everyday Radicals.

Anna DeShawn grew up Black Lutheran AND Baptist — yes, both — and her faith shows up in everything she does. We talked about sacred spaces and how grounding yourself spiritually IS the work. 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis... #QueerFaith #RestAsResistance #JustRestPodcast

"The moment joy leaves something I'm doing, I quit it." Anna DeShawn said this and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Not happiness. Joy. The kind that is a choice. 🎧https://www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/episodes/19227788 #JoyAsResistance #BurnoutRecovery #QueerNews

Losing a battle is not losing the war. Anna DeShawn covers hard queer news every single week and she stays grounded by remembering: out of 18 cases brought against Trump, Lambda Legal has won 90% of them. THAT is the war. 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

Episode 10 of Just Rest is here and I have to be honest — I wasn't sure I'd make it. But this one keeps bringing me joy. And that is the whole deal. 🎙️ 🎧 Episode 10 is available wherever you get your podcasts www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis... #JustRestPodcast #BurnoutRecovery #Podcast

Put this in the “You can’t make this up file,”: Today — about 10 minutes before I was about to teach a 90-minute webinar, maintenance came in my apartment to fix some stuff. What was I teaching a webinar on, you might ask? 👉 Managing Interruptions. I kid you not. 😆😆😆

A little life lesson today: When I look at a webinar outline and think, "Wow, is this going to be enough to fill the time?" Then, it's just enough to fill the time. #PresenterLifeHack #Yourewelcome

Another way is always possible. You may not have imagined it yet.

For the woman holding up aging parents, kids, and somehow still being expected to show up fully for her career. You're not dropping balls because you can't juggle. You're dropping them because you weren't meant to juggle this many. Calm Calendar Club Open House this week. RSVP: bit.ly/4dupTTr

You built your business around your values. But what happens when the people funding it don't share them? Catherine Montgomery did exactly that — and eventually had to choose between the mission and the structure she'd built around it. She chose the mission. Twice. 🎙️

✨ Something exciting just happened. ✨ My little baby podcast, Just Rest, crossed over the 500 download mark. I'm over the moon. And the first season isn't over yet. Stay tuned. 🎧 defythetrend.com/just-rest

@beckymollenkamp.bsky.social's note to the Rest Rebels at the end of this episode: "You are enough. No proving required. The system is broken. You are not the problem." That's it. That's the post. 🎧 Episode 08: Business Advice Is Burning You Out. There's Another Way. bit.ly/4egv6A

One of the simplest burnout tips for entrepreneurs I've ever heard: Stop asking "am I doing enough?" Start asking "what IS enough — for me, actually?" Those are very different questions, sparked by my convo w/ @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

@beckymollenkamp.bsky.social dropped a concept in our conversation that I can't stop thinking about: the Hedonic Treadmill. The finish line that keeps moving. The number that was supposed to feel like safety — and didn't. There is no ENOUGH in capitalism. www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

What if the business advice burning you out was never designed for the kind of business you actually want to build? New episode of Just Rest with @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social is up and I'm still thinking about this one. #LiberateYourBusiness 📙 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

If you're ready to quiet the guilty voice telling you you're not doing enough and actually build a sustainable rhythm — I offer group and individual coaching. DM me. Let's find your version of good enough. #DefyTheTrend #BurnoutCoach #RestIsResistance #CoachingForWomen

Here's the thing: exhaustion is not proof of effort. It's just exhaustion. You do not need to feel wrecked to have done enough. Pacing yourself IS the work. Feeling okay at the end of a hard week is the whole point. #RadicalRest #WorkSmarter #BurnoutPrevention

She'd planned ahead. Paced herself. Took breaks. Got the important things done. By any real measure — she had a good week. A sustainable week. But the voice said: "shouldn't you feel more wrecked?" #RestFirst #HustleCulture

A client finished a genuinely busy week — and told me she still felt pretty good. Not drained. Not exhausted. Just... okay. She's done her work, but there was still guilt: Had she really done enough? That guilt is grind culture. And we need to talk about it. 🧵 #GrindCulture #BurnoutRecovery

✨ I'm having a blast! ✨ I am putting the finishing touches on a 30-hour Renewal Retreat for clergy in the Florida Conference UCC that I'm leading next week. Who wants me to do this for your group next? #RestRetreat #Renewal #Yoga #Meditation #EnergyWork

I really need to see people earnestly doing the right thing when I can’t stop binging a season of Call the Midwife. Thank God for the nurses and nuns doing community medicine to give me hope. #CalltheMidwife

Doing my annual Lenten rewatch of Chocolate (2000). I love this movie about community, change and redeption more and more each time I watch it. www.imdb.com/title/tt0241...

"How we do the work IS the work." Elaina Ramsey was talking about reproductive justice — but it applies to every values-driven organization. If you say people's wellbeing matters and your internal culture doesn't reflect that, you're not living your values. 🎧 bit.ly/4mbUucj

The permission you give so freely to others — to rest, to grieve, to just be human — is also an invitation you can extend to yourself. That's it. That's the whole thing. 🎧 to the pod: bit.ly/4mbUucj #JustRestPodcast #ReproductiveJustice #RestRebels #ReproductiveFreedom #BurnoutRecovery

Ep 7 of Just Rest is live! Elaina Ramsey of Faithchoice Ohio shared about her journey from fundamentalist evangelical Christianity to becoming one of the leading voices for Christian reproductive justice. 🎧 Stay tuned, because I have more to share this week. 👇 www.buzzsprout.com/2565476/epis...

Enjoy the bubbling of these veggie cabbage rolls I've made. A few years ago, I finally found a recipe for the vegetarian version that worked. I've never looked back.

I feel like it's a good day if you stumped an AI chatbot.

Post 3 of 3 Five years later, @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social wrote the book I wish I'd had from day one. Liberate Your Business is a deprogramming manual for anyone who's done everything "right" and still felt wrong. I've preordered mine. Release April 30. 💛 bit.ly/3NEMm7

@beckymollenkamp.bsky.social made me feel safe and seen — and then she did something harder: she helped me let go of every "should" I carried about how my business was supposed to look. I never looked back. 💛 beckymollenkamp.com/book/

A year into my business I was lonely and ready to quit. Then I found @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social on a webinar. Something about how she talked made me stay. I joined her list. On one of my lowest days, she invited me to a simple group coaching call. Just come. So I went. 🧵 beckymollenkamp.com/book

After a coching session today, a client said, “We really rummaged through the junk drawer of my brain … and I found some things!" That about sums it up. … I listen to your rummaging, help you make meaning and plan your next step forward. I freakin’ love coaching and a good metaphor! #CoachLife
