Episode 45: Why Rest Isn’t Lazy–Reclaiming Downtime as Self-Care
Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast that helps you take charge of your health, hormones, and happiness. It’s James and Juli once again from Fabulous Beyond 40—and in this episode we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood health habits out there: rest.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, this episode is for you.
Too many midlife women still believe that “rest” equals laziness, weakness, or falling behind.
But the truth? Rest is a biological necessity, a nervous system reset, and—dare we say—a rebellious act of self-preservation. In this episode, we’ll challenge toxic productivity, explore the science behind rest and recovery, and help you reclaim downtime as a powerful tool for health and growth.
