You Don’t Have to Earn Rest feat. Johanna Sanchez
In this episode of Taking Back Monday, Alyssa Nolte sits down with Johanna Sanchez to talk about what it really means to build a business—and a life—on your own terms.
From working 70-hour weeks in child protection to building a six-figure business and still burning out, Johanna shares the pivotal moment that forced her to rethink everything. Together, Alyssa and Johanna explore how to set real boundaries, reject hustle culture, and redefine what success looks like.
If you've ever felt like rest had to be earned, this episode will challenge that mindset. It's a reminder that you don’t need to do more to be enough—and that taking care of yourself is good for business.
Key takeaways:
→ You don’t need to earn rest—rest is the standard, not a reward
→ Boundaries work better when they’re tied to your real values
→ Burnout isn’t the cost of ambition, it’s a sign to realign
Listen in for a conversation that’s honest, human, and a little bit rebellious—in all the right ways.
