Rest isn’t a luxury – it’s your body’s reset button. In this episode of Midlife Reset, Diana breaks down the myths around rest, why it’s not laziness (even if your inner overachiever says otherwise), and how ignoring rest messes with your hormones, energy, and ability to enjoy midlife.
You’ll learn how to shift the guilt, stop pushing through exhaustion, and create simple rituals to support your nervous system – so your sleep, mood, and sparkle all get a serious upgrade.
Because tired is not your personality. And midlife isn’t meant to feel like burnout on repeat.
What You’ll Hear:
- Why our “go-go-go” culture trains us to feel guilty about rest
- How daydreaming is actually a neurological reset (not a waste of time)
- The real role of your body’s “nighttime cleaning crew”
- Why your hormones beg for rest – and how cortisol gets in the way
- Three simple, science-backed ways to reset your nervous system:
- 4-7-8 Breathing – A calming breath trick to use anytime, anywhere
- Humming – Yes, humming! It tones your vagus nerve and soothes your system
- Legs-Up Rest Pose – A dancer’s secret weapon for deep evening restoration
Midlife Reset Tip:
Rest is productive.
When you give your body space to recover, your energy, clarity, and vitality come back online. Think of it as letting the cleaning crew do their job – so you wake up ready to run the show (in lipstick and heels, if that’s your vibe).
