Why You’re Still Drained — and How to Get Your Energy Back with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith | Clutterbug Podcast # 295

Clutterbug - Real-Life Hacks and Tips to Declutter, Organize and Clean your Home Fast

If you’re exhausted, unmotivated, or mentally fried, this episode is for you.
I’m sitting down with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, researcher, and author of Sacred Rest, to talk about the 7 different types of rest — and why getting more sleep isn’t the real solution to burnout.

Dr. Saundra explains how true rest goes beyond naps or vacations — it’s about recharging the areas where your energy is being drained: mentally, emotionally, socially, creatively, and more. She also shares how building a rest ethic (just like a work ethic!) can help you feel productive, peaceful, and joyful again.

If you’ve been pushing yourself nonstop, this conversation will help you understand why rest isn’t lazy — it’s powerful. You’ll walk away knowing exactly what kind of rest you’re missing and how to get it.

✨ We talk about:

• The 7 types of rest — and how to tell which one you need most
  
• The real signs of burnout (and why sleep alone won’t fix it)
  
• The difference between “fake rest” and restorative rest
  
• How to build a healthy rest ethic without losing your drive
  
• Simple ways to recharge your mind and body in five minutes or less
  
• Why true rest makes you more creative, focused, and happy
