Summary
After Kelly’s chat with celebrity trainer and author Andrea Leigh Rogers, she and Chip unpack why so many of us can’t sit still — and why rest somehow feels wrong even when we’re exhausted. They talk about how burnout became a lifestyle, the pressure to always be “doing,” and the guilt that hits when you actually try to slow down.
From endless to-do lists to feeling productive just to feel worthy, this episode is all about learning how to pause without feeling like you’re falling behind — and redefining what enough really means.
