The Reason You Can’t Stop Working and Sit Still — Even When You Know You Should with Intuitively Wild’s Rachel Levine
275: “Most of the things, especially at the beginning, are challenging. Often, honestly, living authentically, living intuitively, intentionally, all these words is the harder path, is really freaking challenging.” - Rachel Levine
Feeling allergic to stillness? Same. Chelsea chats with writer, guide, and founder and owner of Intuitively Wild, Rachel Levine, about why slowing down feels terrifying — and why it might be the bravest thing you can do for your nervous system, your career, and your life.
Episode themes:
- Stillness isn’t always soft — sometimes it brings up everything you’ve been avoiding.
- If you think “ If I stop, I’ll never start again” — that’s how you know you need to stop the most.
- We’ve trained our nervous systems to believe rest is dangerous.
- Living in alignment doesn’t mean you quit your job and move to a cottage — it starts with one honest moment.
- Your shame gets louder the more you hide it. Bring it to the light and watch it shrink.
Rest isn’t a reward — it’s a right. Whether you’re drowning in Slack pings, sprinting toward a dream, or wondering why your “wellness routine” feels like a full-time job, Rachel’s words are an invitation to sit still, soften, and listen. Spoiler: you don’t have to move to a lush forest or light sage at your desk to do it.
