Summary

After struggling with burnout, I thought it was only right to come back and speak about how I’ve been feeling as well as the pressure to always do more. I think a lot of us struggle to actually relax because society has made us believe that taking a break is a bad thing. Whenever we take time to slow down, we feel guilty, like we could be doing something more productive. Today I break down why we need to let go of this “rotting” mindset and allow ourselves to relax.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.0	Hello, welcome to or welcome back to Tranne to Care.
0:12.0	If you're new here, hello, my name is Ashley. I'm so happy to have you.
0:15.6	I post every single Monday except for last Monday. I took the week off. It was definitely much needed. I'm so grateful to be back and I'm so grateful for all of you who allowed me to have time off.
0:28.0	I just want to jump right into the episode. Today I want to talk about why I needed time off. I want to talk about taking time to rest and not feeling guilty about relaxing
0:37.7	People online have been referring to relaxing as rotting. I have definitely made a joke here and there about
0:44.7	having rot days and stuff, but I think we need to stop calling relaxing rotting
0:49.9	and just call it what it is which is relaxing resting and I just want to talk about how rest is
0:55.0	how rest is productive and yeah so let's get into today's
0:59.9	episode I'm so happy to be back so I guess I'll start this episode off with talking a little bit about why I took the week off and I know it's not that big of a deal. I know I'm making it this big thing when it doesn't have to be. I know the world is ending because I took a week off.
1:16.0	I think I am just really hard on myself and I expect a lot out of myself so when I take a Monday off

1:28.7	going to sit here and say how hard my job is because I quite literally have my dream job and I know it's easy in the
1:36.7	grand scheme of things compared to all these other jobs and I'm doing what I've always
1:41.3	wanted to do. I wouldn't trade what I'm doing for the world. It's so fulfilling. It brings me so much joy. And I know how privileged I am to have this job, especially having so many other jobs that I struggled with and I hated so much.
1:56.1	I am exhausting myself, and it's not like my job is physically exhausting.
2:01.8	It's not hard to do. It's not like my old job when I was on my feet all day running around with
2:05.8	kids and exhausted but the difference between my last job and other jobs I
2:10.5	had to the job I have now is at my other jobs when the work day would end it was
2:18.4	over there was no more work to do I could just go home and relax and feel good about relaxing because I knew there was nothing else I could do for work until the next day.
2:27.5	With the job I have now, there's never a stopping point. There's always something that I can be working towards
