Why 'Doing Nothing' Is Actually Everything: The Healing Power of Rest

January 01, 2025 • Dwayne

In this episode, we explore the life-changing power of taking time just for you. Life builds up stress. Life pulls us in a million directions. But what happens when you stop, pause, and simply give yourself permission to breathe?

I share my personal journey from being a workaholic to discovering the healing space of rest—especially through my favorite self-care escape: a Korean spa.

I’ll also share insights from research on how taking regular breaks improves emotional health, sharpens decision-making, and restores clarity. Whether you’re burned out, overwhelmed, or simply curious about the power of doing absolutely nothing—this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about how stepping back allows you to reset, reflect, and heal.

*PLEASE NOTE: The podcast had a name shift from “The Pivot Point” to “The Pivotal Point” after this episode was recorded.
