In this episode of the Seasonal Sisters Podcast, Janice Saunders dives into a transformative conversation with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith about why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted—even when they’re getting enough sleep.
Together, they explore rest as a multidimensional practice, breaking down the seven types of rest and examining how deficiencies in each can lead to burnout, overwhelm, and disconnection.
Dr. Dalton-Smith shares practical insights into identifying your personal rest deficits and simple ways to restore your energy across the physical, mental, emotional, and creative areas of your life.
If you’ve ever felt tired despite doing “all the right things,” this episode will help you redefine rest and reclaim your energy—without guilt.
