Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the loop of always being busy? Like rest is something you’ll earn “one day” when you’ve ticked off every last task? In this honest, warm, and wonderfully real episode, Stacey Morgan and Rhee Gold explore the dopamine-driven habits we all fall into—especially as studio owners—and how we can rewire our routines to prioritise what really matters.

From addiction to Instagram scrolling, to running ourselves ragged trying to “do it all,” Stacey and Rhee talk about:

✨ The impact of our phone habits on productivity, presence, and parenting
✨ How rest (yes, actual rest!) became one of Stacey’s core values
✨ What you might be missing when you constantly chase “the next thing”
✨ Rhee’s insights on the joy of doing nothing, and the guilt that sometimes comes with it
✨ The truth about studio ownership: the hamster wheel, the pressure, and the need to pause
✨ Practical ways to realign your time with your values—and lead by example

If you've been craving space, clarity, and permission to slow down, this is your sign. Because rest isn’t a reward for working hard—it’s the fuel you need to keep showing up for the things you care about most.
