What would happen if you did… nothing?
In this episode of Rebel Minds: Coaching the Headlines, Teresa and Merci take on the rising trend of “duvet days”—intentional time to completely unplug, do nothing, and rest.
Sounds simple. It’s not.
Because for most of us, the moment we stop… everything starts talking.
The guilt.

We don’t know how to just be.

Inside this episode:
Why rest feels uncomfortable (and even threatening)
The hidden cost of tying your value to output

The truth about productivity, burnout, and modern work culture
Why permission—not time—is the real problem
And how small shifts (not drastic ones) can start to change everything
This isn’t about escaping your life or avoiding responsibility.
