What happens when exhaustion becomes your normal? In this episode, Dr Jodi Richardson sits down with kinesiologist, yoga and meditation teacher Ilana Kosakiewicz, whose own experience with chronic fatigue and autoimmune illness forced her to stop – and ultimately transformed her life.

Together they explore:

The early whispers of burnout we often ignore
Why so many women have normalised exhaustion
The difference between rest and recovery
How “white space” resets the nervous system
Micro‑moments of rest that actually work
The power of Yoga Nidra and non‑sleep deep rest
How slowing down helps us show up better for the people we love
This conversation is a gentle reminder that rest isn’t indulgent – it’s essential.
