Feeling guilty for resting is one of the most common struggles when you live with anxiety, OCD, or low self-worth. In this short, soothing episode, therapist Jess Eden shares a gentle reframe on why you don’t need to earn your rest — and how to let go of the internal pressure to always be doing more.

You’ll hear validation for emotional exhaustion, support for slowing down, and a calm reminder that rest isn’t a reward for productivity — it’s part of being human.

What does OCD recovery actually look like? In this episode, I’m sharing the honest truths that often get left out of OCD recovery conversations. We’ll talk about taking an active role in therapy, why it doesn’t always feel good, the pressure to recover fast, and how to stop waiting to feel “ready.” If you're navigating intrusive thoughts or mental compulsions, this is your reminder that you're not doing it wrong—you’re doing the hard work.
