181 // Rest More, Stress Less, and Embrace the Gentler You - with Courtney Carver from Be More with Less

If you are suffering from overwhelm, chronic burnout, and never feeling like you’ll ever get it all done - today’s episode is for you.

In her new book Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want, Courtney Carver offers a revolutionary, countercultural concept - Rest First. Not after we’ve “earned it”, but right now.

By starting small, practicing self-compassion, and giving ourselves permission slips along the way, we can embrace a gentler self and rise up to enjoy the life we want - and deserve.

Courtney is the creator of bemorewithless.com and The Simplicity Space, a membership program and community full of mostly women who are reducing stress and simplifying life. She also co-hosts The Soul & Wit Podcast with her daughter, Bailey.

She has been featured in countless articles, podcasts, interviews, including O, The Oprah Magazine, Real Simple, Vogue, Success, BBC, The Guardian, today.com, Good Morning America, CNN, USA Today, Forbes, PBS, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

Courtney is the author of Soulful Simplicity, Project 333, and her most recent book Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want.
