What if rest isn't the reward—but the revolution?

In this restorative episode of the Beyonding Podcast, Kailei Carr and Myra Capri are joined by author of The Rest Revolution, executive coach, restorative guide, and sound healer, Amanda Miller Littlejohn, for a powerful conversation about redefining success in an age of burnout.

Amanda shares the personal journey that inspired The Rest Revolution, revealing how burnout, motherhood, and a commitment to wellness transformed not only the way she worked, but the way she lived. Together, they explore why rest isn't about doing less—it's about creating sustainable rhythms that allow us to fully express our purpose, creativity, and joy.

The conversation dives into recognizing the signs of burnout, building daily practices of restoration, and learning to listen to what our bodies are asking for. Amanda also challenges listeners to rethink productivity, reconnect with what brings them joy, and consider whether they are called to activate, maintain, or evolve into something new.

If you've been wondering how to balance purpose with presence, ambition with well-being, or productivity with peace, this episode is for you.
