The Day I Didn’t Push Through - Heather Stewart

In this episode, Heather Stewart explores why so many women wait until they are completely run down before allowing themselves to rest.<br data-text="true">Using the simple but powerful story of when she recently called in sick while only “a little bit sick,” she unpacks the guilt, conditioning, and self-worth patterns that make it hard to pause early.<br data-text="true">This conversation examines productivity culture, burnout prevention, body wisdom, and the fear that rest is only valid when fully justified. Heather invites listeners to consider a new possibility: that resting sooner may not be lazy or wasteful, but wise, loving, and deeply supportive.<br data-text="true">If you have ever pushed through fatigue, minimized your needs, or questioned whether you were “sick enough” or “tired enough” to take a break, this episode offers a gentler and more honest way to look at rest.<br data-text="true">Want support with this work in real life, not just in theory?<br data-text="true">Join my free community at IlluminateYourWorth.com for resources, connection, and practical tools to help you come back to yourself.<br data-text="true">And if you’re ready to go deeper, the Alignment Lab is open now – head over to the community for more information.<br data-text="true">Illuminate Your Worth – Stop Pretending You’re OK, Start Living Like You Mean It<br data-text="true">Author Heather Stewart<br data-text="true">Amazon.com – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1997615215Amazon.ca – https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1997615215<br data-text="true">https://heatherstewart.coach/<br data-text="true">info@heatherstewart.coach<br data-text="true">To get more of Illuminate Your Worth – Heather Stewart, be sure to visit the archives page for replays of all her shows here: https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/podcast/illuminate-your-worth-heather-stewart/
