July 01, 20252 min read

Amidst bustling schedules and endless to-do lists, learning how to rest might seem trivial. However, Marni Wandner, an integrative and executive coach with rich experience in the music industry, shares insights into how transformative real rest can be.

Modern society’s hustle culture may lead you to underestimate the power of rest. Many high achievers faced with burnout often neglect taking breaks, fearing a loss of productivity or battling guilt over perceived laziness. Marni addresses this issue by presenting a structured approach to rest that aims to improve both creativity and productivity.

Why Rest Matters

For many professionals, the thought of taking a break seems counterproductive. Yet, ignoring rest can spiral into exhaustion, mental blocks, and a profound lack of motivation. Rest is not merely about sleep; it involves nurturing different aspects of your being, all of which fuel creativity and efficiency in your work and life.

What You'll Learn from Marni

In this eye-opening session at the Art of Rest Retreat, Marni delves into the significance of seven unique types of rest. Do you find yourself constantly tired or creatively blocked? Explore how understanding your personal energy cycles can assist in planning effective rest breaks. Learn the power of creating your own personalized rest toolkit. Marni’s insights help you identify specific activities that genuinely recharge your mind, body, and spirit.

A New Way to Think About Rest

Rest is not just the absence of work; it is an active process of nurturing different facets of yourself. Through this session, Marni offers a new view on how targeted rest can lead to unprecedented levels of creativity and motivation, allowing you to see the world—and your work—with fresh eyes.

MEET THE AUTHOR,
STEPH BLAKE

For years, I poured everything into building my business and raising my family—until I realized I lost a part of myself in the process.

I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

But as life got busier, that creativity took a backseat to client work, to-do lists, and the daily demands of running a business and being a mom.

One day, I decided to slowly start creating again—just for myself.

I explored new hobbies to get a quick dopamine hit for my ADHD brain with no expectations or pressure. And everything changed.

Tapping back into creativity became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel connected to myself!

Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom!
