The Rest of Us with Dana Tenille Weekes
The Rest of Us podcast explores rest as self-liberation for advocates and professionals who are losing themselves to the demands of work, loved ones, friends, strangers, and this dizzying world. The Rest of Us cultivates a community through honest reflections, conversations, and laughter for people willing to embrace rest differently.

Ep 5: Whose Mountain Are You Climbing? Exploring Succeeding vs. Thriving
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Host Dana Tenille Weekes asks a profound question she believes every person must answer truthfully to reclaim their right to rest: “Whose mountain are you climbing?”
This episode of The Rest of Us podcast distinguishes between succeeding and thriving and reveals how succeeding keeps us mountaineering for others. Through storytelling, Dana shares five types of encounters that contributed to unrest in her life and redirected her to climbing other people’s mountains. They are encounters with the: (1) Dream Decision-Makers; (2) Breadcrumbers; (3) Well-Intentioned Fearfuls; and (5) Inner Narrator (that isn’t your voice).
Dana ends the episode by prompting listeners to envision their mountaintop through a reflection exercise in which we name and embrace how we want to navigate this world to thrive instead of succeed.
