The Scales of Wellness

You Don't Have to Earn Your Rest (or Your Food)

Kathy Bedward Season 1 Episode 77

If you grab breakfast on the go, work through lunch, and snack when you know you’re not hungry, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re examining the toxic “earn it” mentality—the one that tells you that you’re only allowed to rest after everything’s done or only allowed to eat if you’re working at the same time.

You’ll learn:

  • Why it’s so common to believe that we need to earn the right to take a break
  • How productivity guilt fuels overeating
  • What it actually looks like to rest without spiraling or self-sabotaging
  • Why giving yourself permission to slow down can lead to more ease, better health, and, of course, weight loss (without being more disciplined or getting more stuff done)

If you’re tired of chasing the A+ and still feeling like it’s not enough… let this be your permission slip to do things differently.

Plus, I share a story about my own weekend meltdown (yep, coaches have those too) and how I pulled myself out of the spiral—without eating over it.

Tune in, and let’s redefine what “enough” looks like.
