## Resource

Somewhere along the way, most of us learned that slowing down means you're not serious. That doing less means you don't care enough. In today's episode, Celeste challenges that belief directly — and makes the case that reducing your load isn't quitting. It's one of the most courageous things you can do when you're running on empty. If guilt shows up every time you try to slow down, this one is for you. Today's shift: Identify one thing you can put down today — without guilt.
