In this Acentra Health Podcast, host Yeji Lee sits down with Matt Carrillo, Licensed Professional Counselor and Onsite Clinician, to explore why rest often feels difficult, why so many people experience guilt when slowing down, and how intentional recovery can improve both well-being and performance. Together, they discuss the impact of chronic stress, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, practical ways to incorporate rest into daily life, and how small, consistent moments of recovery can help prevent burnout.
