Glow and Grow is your cozy corner of the internet for real talk, soft self-improvement, and the messy-but-beautiful journey of becoming. Hosted by Patricia Vastis, this podcast explores wellness, mindset, burnout recovery, and navigating your 20s — without the pressure to have it all figured out. Through honest solo episodes and heartfelt guest conversations, Glow and Grow reminds you that you’re allowed to take your time. Your glow-up gets to be slow, your healing gets to be soft, and your growth gets to be completely your own.
HOT TAKE... I think most of us are living in a state of chronic stress. We’re overstimulated constantly, running on autopilot, and calling it “normal” because we don’t know what calm actually feels like anymore. I didn’t realize how dysregulated I was until my body literally forced me to slow down... the constant tension, the brain fog, the exhaustion that didn’t make sense… YUP, that was my nervous system begging for a break.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what was really going on in my body, the signs I ignored, and the simple shifts that have been helping me get out of fight-or-flight mode.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, “off,” or like your body is tired no matter how much you rest… it might be time to finally listen to what your nervous system is telling you.
P.S. Pushing through the fatigue for the sake of being “productive” isn’t a flex...it might be what’s keeping you stuck.

My Horrible Relationship With Rest
In this solo episode, I’m opening up about something that’s been quietly weighing on me for years: my complicated relationship with rest. The guilt, the pressure to be productive 24/7, and the shame that creeps in when I try to slow down — it’s all here.
I talk about where this mindset came from, how it’s affected my day-to-day life, and what I’m learning as I try to unlearn it. This isn’t a “how-to” guide — it’s an honest conversation from someone who’s still figuring it out.
If you’ve ever felt like doing nothing makes you lazy, or that rest has to be earned… this one’s for you.
Let’s grow through what we’ve been taught to feel ashamed of.
