When was the last time you rested on purpose—and not just because your body forced you to stop? If exhaustion were no longer a badge of honor, how differently would you lead?
In this vibrant and energizing conversation, Nicole Greer sits down with Dr. Erin Wilson, CEO of Design Ideal Consulting and co-author of Strategic Rest in Leadership: The NAP Framework. Together, they challenge hustle culture and unpack how intentional, strategic rest fuels clarity, creativity, decision-making, and healthier workplace cultures.
Dr. Erin shares her personal wake-up call that led her to redefine rest, introduces the NAP Framework (Nurture, Assess, Prioritize), and offers practical, leader-tested ways to embed rest into daily work rhythms—without sacrificing performance. From no-meeting days to 50-minute meetings, micro-pauses, and redefining productivity, this episode is a must-listen for leaders who want sustainable success and a truly vibrant culture.
