🎧 DEEPLY RESTED ...Why so many brilliant women burn out.


Rest isn’t the absence of ambition.
It’s what allows your ambition to breathe.

Hello there, Reader -

There’s a story I’ve told many times behind the scenes.

And this week, I finally shared it on the Deeply Rested Podcast with Maegan Megginson. (A podcast that I highly recommend you subscribe to!)

Here’s where it begins:

Years ago, I was trying to teach myself how to swim laps.

I thought I just needed to get fitter. To push harder.

So I did what so many of us do—I forced my way forward.

Breathless. Tense. Fighting the water. Exhausted.

Until something shifted.

I discovered a different approach.

Instead of forcing my body through the water, I learned to trust it.

To adjust my alignment in small, almost imperceptible ways.

And suddenly…

I was moving through the water with ease.

I wasn’t fighting anymore.

I was flying.

That moment changed everything for me.

It showed me that ease doesn't mean less -
it means alignment.


That’s the heart of what I now teach inside
The Growth Cycle.

We live in a world that teaches us to override.

To push through exhaustion.

To treat rest like a reward you earn once everything else is done.

But here’s what I know:

... Rest isn’t what slows you down.
... Rest is what roots you deeper.

When you learn how to grow in rhythm with your energy—not against it—everything changes:

• Decisions become clearer

• Energy becomes steadier

• Success becomes sustainable

Because when you're rooted, you're not falling behind.

You're building something that can actually last.

🎙 On this Deeply Rested podcast episode, Maegan and I unpack:

• The origin story behind The Growth Cycle
• Why most of us confuse rest with weakness
• What happens when you try to push through the wrong season
• How you can discover your current phase—and finally stop fighting your own energy

If you’ve ever felt like you're working harder than ever but still feeling untethered... This conversation is for you.

You don’t need more hustle. You need alignment.
