I’m Elena Agafonova, a transformation coach with 20 years of experience and author of The Midlife Career Pivot. In "Why Rest Is Not Optional", I use the metaphor of a tree bending in the wind. This reflection invites you to notice how often you allow yourself to reset truly—without guilt, without productivity pressure, and without postponing care for “later.”
Until next time, take life gently.
