1:40Now PlayingRussell and his wife Laura dig into why rest feels so difficult to accept, even when it's exactly what's needed, and land on a surprising answer, it isn't really about the workload, it's about control. They discuss the fear that stopping means falling further behind, and reference the book Rest by Alex Soojung Kim Pang, which argues that real rest has to be taken deliberately and protected from a world intent on stealing it. Russell shares a small practical shift, doing the demanding tasks early in the day so the rest of it can move slower and gentler. A grounded conversation for anyone who struggles to actually stop, even when they know they need to.
