Rest is Not a To-Do Item

I had  a scary wake-up call recently when I was caught in the whirlwind of juggling multiple responsibilities while neglecting my own well-being.  It was a valuable lesson for me on how stress often lurks beneath the surface and then rears its ugly head and stops me in my tracks.  

But here’s the thing, I actually think I’m pretty good at self-care. This recent experience though taught me that I was checking off boxes rather than truly getting the rest I needed. 

In this week’s blog, I share what happened as well as a brief look at the societal norms and workplace expectations that contribute to the normalization of stress, particularly in the entertainment industry. I also offer up practical strategies for recognizing and addressing the warning signs of stress in our lives so we can course correct together and take care of ourselves.
