Woo hooo—it’s my birthday month! 🎉 And if you know me, you know I don’t just celebrate my birthday on one day. Nope. I stretch that party out for the whole month—sometimes longer. Why? Because every single year is a gift, and I plan to celebrate it with joy, gratitude, and yes—decluttering!
A world where hustle is glamorized, busy is a badge of honor, and rest? Well… rest is treated like a luxury you earn after you’ve sacrificed your mind, your body, and your time. We’ve been sold a lie that rest is weak. That slowing down means you’re lazy. That if you’re not constantly producing, posting, or pushing forward, you’re falling behind. But what if I told you that choosing rest—intentional, unapologetic, soul-deep rest—isn’t just self-care… it’s resistance? Yep. You heard me. In a system built to extract, exploit, and glorify overwork, rest is a radical, counter-cultural, truth-telling act of self-leadership. And if you’re someone who leads, who gives, who shows up for others—especially in the work of advocacy, healing, or social change—this conversation is especially for you.
