Last Friday afternoon I did something I never do. I sat on the couch and watched TV by myself. This might not sound monumental to you, but it’s a big deal for me and something I don’t do often. You see, I’m someone who feels the need to be productive 24/7. And while I’m a coach who helps other women with this exact issue, I still struggle with self-care and rest.

You should know that this blissful moment of rest happened partly by accident and partly by choice.
