If you've ever collapsed into bed after a full night's sleep and still woken up drained, this conversation will change how you think about rest. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith—board-certified physician and leading researcher on rest—breaks down why "getting more sleep" isn't the answer for most moms, and why your exhaustion might have nothing to do with physical fatigue at all. Dr. Saundra introduces the seven types of rest (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, sensory, and creative) and explains how to pinpoint exactly where you're running on empty. Spoiler: that hobby you keep telling yourself you don't have time for? It might be the exact kind of rest you're starving for. From habit-stacking tiny restorative moments into your existing routine, to why a spa day isn't actually a burnout prevention strategy, this session is packed with practical shifts that don't require a four-hour window or a babysitter.
