Sleep Isn't Fixing It. Here's the Rest You Need
The importance of rest for the working mom
Sleep isn’t Fixing It. Here’s the Rest You Need.
On the fifth episode of Catholic Working Mom, host Jessie Rettinger sits down with Anna Saucier, a business and leadership coach who supports women leading businesses. Anna started her career in IT and commercial real estate finance. Seven years of infertility led her to rethink what she wanted to do with her life, and she trained as a Creighton Model FertilityCare practitioner before moving into coaching. When her kids were small, she and her husband sold everything and traveled the world as a family. Together they talk about the seven kinds of rest most of us never get, why real support starts with letting go of the belief that it's all on you, and how to lean into the tension instead of rushing to fix it.
