Shift out of fear and frustration, and begin communicating safety to your body.
Use simple practices to gently retrain your body and rebuild trust in yourself.
Your body isn’t broken—it’s protecting you. Let’s help it feel safe enough to let go.

The real reason you’re feeling exhausted and in pain (it’s not your fault)
How your body gets stuck in a protective loop—and how to break free.

Rest Is Not A Reward

What if rest isn’t something you earn after finishing your to-do list — but something your body needs to be able to function optimally so you can thrive and live your life’s purpose?
In this episode, Tanja sits down with Fran Watson, a Transformational Coach, to explore why rest isn’t about naps, vacations, or stepping away from life, but about weaving moments of slowing down into your daily rhythm.
Fran shares her personal journey through burnout and breast cancer, revealing how illness forced her to see rest as essential, not optional. Together, Fran and Tanja challenge the cultural belief that productivity equals worth, and uncover simple and practical ways to incorporate real rest — even in the busiest of lives.
What You’ll Learn:
Why rest isn’t a luxury, but a core part of life
Simple ways to experience rest as receiving
Small daily practices that energize you
Why rest leads to deeper connection, creativity, and a fuller life
