This One Habit Restores Your Energy
Thu Feb 05 2026
Ever feel exhausted even when you’re doing all the “right” things?If rest still isn’t touching your tiredness and you can’t remember the last time you felt genuinely energised, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m sharing one simple but powerful habit that restores energy when sleep, rest, and productivity hacks are not working. Inspired by Brené Brown’s work on play and my own realisation that I’d quietly stopped doing it, this episode introduces a practical tool you can use immediately to refill your emotional tank and reconnect with yourself.
This is not about doing more or fixing yourself. It’s about understanding why play is not optional, especially in motherhood, and how reintroducing it changes how you feel, think, and show up.
You’ll hear:
Recognise why you can feel exhausted even when you’re resting
Identify what play actually means for you, not for anyone else
Learn how to create small, realistic “play pockets” in everyday life
Understand why play restores energy faster than pushing through
Explore how modelling play gives your children permission to keep their joy
