What does it mean to rest? Are you someone who feels like they need to earn their rest? Or do you believe rest is just a part of life you need to make time for?

In this episode, we have a very special guest, Anastasiya Rutus. Originally from Ukraine and now residing in San Francisco, Anastasiya left her corporate job to pursue self-care and travel. She is a rest coach; focusing on empowering female entrepreneurs to prioritize their well-being and take the breaks they need.

In this episode, we delve into the importance of rest, self-care, and Asian American prosperity. Anastasiya shares her insights on why taking breaks is as vital to the body as vitamins and sunlight. As a rest coach, she guides us on how to cultivate the habit of rest and create sustainable self-care practices. Throughout the episode, we explore the power of asking for help, redefining productivity, and the significance of normalizing rest for Asian Americans.



  • The Habit of Rest and Self-Care (3:04): Anastasiya emphasizes the significance of self-care for entrepreneurs, particularly female entrepreneurs, who often struggle as their own harshest bosses. She believes that taking breaks is vital for personal well-being and business success. Anastasiya provides insights on where to find her and the importance of incorporating rest into daily routines.


  • The Importance of Prioritization and Accountability (9:12): As a rest coach, Anastasiya discusses the mindset needed to give oneself permission to rest and the individuality of the rest process. She highlights the benefits of working with a coach and how it helps with better prioritization and the courage to ask for help.


  • Start Small and Embrace Sustainable Self-Care (12:29): Anastasiya advises to start with micro-movements when building the habit of rest. She emphasizes that there is no right or wrong way to rest, and each person's needs are unique. The key to sustainable self-care is accepting help and support in various forms.


Anastasiya Rutus's journey from leaving her corporate job to becoming a rest coach is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care, especially for Asian Americans striving to break out of societal norms. By normalizing rest and prioritizing well-being, Anastasiya aims to help others lead more fulfilled and productive lives. Remember, taking breaks and practising self-care are essential components of a successful and healthy lifestyle.
