We balance everything in our life with the best of our abilities – family, friends, fitness, faith, love, career, etc. We hustle so hard that we forget to rest or worse we feel bad for resting. Why do we feel this way? This episode is meant to redefine what is success and to highlight that resting is also productive. Our success is always measured by others, but our satisfaction is measured by ourselves. Relax, refresh, and recover by clicking the play button!
