S2 E6: Embracing Sustainable Self-Care and the Significance of Boundaries, Rest and Accountability

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.


"Rest coaching is not about telling them how many hours they need to sleep, but reminding them that they deserve rest and love." - Anastasiya Rutus
