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

Open House Week is here! 🎉 The Calm Calendar Club is opening two free sessions May 18–22. No membership. No pressure. Just come and see if it helps you focus and prioritize. Even with a neurodivergent brain. 🌿 Me and a dog for the algorithm. www.addevent.com/calendar/5jy...

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

Also we talked about rest as liberation. Not a reward. Not a productivity hack. If that hits, this convo is for you. 🎧 bit.ly/4bzuWRB #RestIsResistance #BurnoutRecovery #AntiHustle

Here’s the truth: You’re probably not failing. You’re carrying too much. I talked with Stephanie Graham LIVE on Lumen Radio about planning your life around your values instead of your to-do list — and why that matters even more for creative and neurodivergent folks.

I was on Chicago radio talking about rest (yes, really) 💜 Joined Stephanie Graham on noseyAF and we got into burnout, hustle culture, and why so many of us feel like we’re failing.

On this St. Patrick's Day, I'm grateful for my Irish ancestor's resilience and tenacity and ability to take simple incredients like potatoes, cabbage and butter and invent something as delicious as potatoes colcannon.

I was deligted to "meet" @mikesimmonsil.bsky.social through the Queer News podcast with Anna DeShawn tonight. I'm so inspired by you and truly wish I lived in your district so I could vote for you. Sending all the good vibes from Urbana, IL on primary election night.

How is it that it's only 9:48 a.m. and I already feel like I'm behind? Oh, right. Toxic capitalism. #BurnoutRecovery #AntiHustleCulture #SlowDown

I’m joining my friend Stephanie Graham live TODAY on the noseyAF show. 🎉 We’ll talk burnout recovery, rest-first calendar planning & wherever our 💜s lead us. 🕑 Sat, Mar 14, 2 pm CT 📻 Lumpen Radio 105.5 FM Listen live: lumpenradio.com/shows/noseya The podcast will drop next week!

So this week’s podcast episode is a short solo one about burnout, perfectionism and building more humane systems for getting things done. If you’ve been feeling behind lately, this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen here: justrest.buzzsprout.com/ #burnoutrecovery #perfectionism #restculture

Small confession from behind the scenes of my podcast. Between my computer dying and learning how much work podcast production actually takes, I fell behind on my episode schedule. And it forced me to make a choice. #BurnoutRecovery #JustRestPodcast 🎧 Listen: justrest.buzzsprout.com/

I could either push myself. Or let good enough be good enough. Perfectionism is one of the sneakiest drivers of burnout. It convinces us that if we can’t do something up to some unattainable standard, we’re failing. But real life doesn’t work that way. 🎧 Listen justrest.buzzsprout.com/

Interesting thing about entrepreneurship: You start out because you want to do your own thing. You realize that in order to do “your own thing” you need other people more than ever. #community #vulnerability #connection

Possibly unpopular opinion: I’m not sure that “saving democracy" needs to be our goal. This version of democracy entangled with patriarchy, wh*te supr*macy and toxic capitalism needs a serious reimagination. How about we “transform democracy?”

If you suspect you’re ADHD or neurodivergent — or you’re simply exhausted from trying to fit into “normal” planning systems — this conversation is for you. Humane systems > self-blame. 🌱 Join us: bit.ly/45P8FNv #ADHD #Neurodivergent #TimeManagement #Planning

So many of us think: “I’m disorganized.” “I can’t stick to a schedule.” “I just need to try harder.” But what if the real issue isn’t effort… It’s executive function + shame-based productivity culture? We unpack it on Just Rest: 🎧 bit.ly/49cbOI4 #ADHDPlanning #Neurodivergence

If you’ve ever Googled “ADHD time blindness” at 10:47 pm because you lost track of the day again… You’re not bad at time. You might just be working with a brain that needs different systems. 🎧 www.justrest.buzzsprout.com/ #JustRest #Burnout #Liberation #TimeManagementforADHD

I had to get a day ahead because I'm not going to be home tomorrow: I make pancakes for dinner tonight. #FatMonday

I finally watched the Bad Bunny Halftime Show. I don't need to speak Spanish to know it was pure joy.
