Rest Is the New Revenue Strategy
Welcome back to The Embodied Baddie Podcast! I’m your host, Chrystal Rose—nervous system whisperer, burnout slayer, and your hype woman for living a wildly fulfilling life without working yourself into the ground.
This episode is a spicy little reminder that hustle culture? Yeah… it’s kinda tired. Today, we’re breaking up with the lie that success = doing the most 24/7, and talking about why rest is not only allowed—but required.
Inside This Episode:
Why Hustle ≠ Happiness
We’re unpacking a hot take from a successful entrepreneur who’s all “I love working weekends!” (Okay girl, but... why tho?) Let’s talk about why that narrative is lowkey toxic—and what actual freedom really looks like.
The Messy Middle of Success
Spoiler alert: even the millionaires are stressed. We’re pulling back the curtain on the pressure behind the pretty numbers and why more money doesn’t always mean more joy.
Rest Is Productive, Babe
Let’s flip the script. Breaks aren’t lazy. They’re your secret weapon. You’ll learn how stepping back helps you come back stronger—with clarity, creativity, and energy that actually gets sh*t done.
Self-Care Is Strategy
This isn’t about spa days (unless you want one, obvi). We’re talking breathwork, light movement, and the kinds of practices that keep you grounded, aligned, and ready to lead like a whole damn queen.
Energy Over Grind
Forget time-blocking your soul into oblivion. Learn how managing your energy instead of your hours is the move if you want to build something that lasts (without burning out in the process).
Quick + Dirty Takeaways:
Breaks = brain fuel. Don't skip 'em.
Distance brings perspective—use it.
Rest isn't earned. It’s your birthright. Period.
Your Homework (aka Hot Baddie Action Steps):
✨ Schedule a break this week and honor it like it’s a VIP meeting.
✨ Audit your to-do list. What’s fluff? What’s real impact?
✨ Start or revamp your self-care rituals. Keep it simple, but sacred.
