5 Minute Reset with Alisha Robertson: Recent Episodes
Alisha Robertson
You don't need an excuse to take a break, but if you're looking for permission, this is it! The 5-Minute Reset Podcast was created to encourage women entrepreneurs to carve out some time for themselves to simply pause, rest and reflect. Each 5-minute or less episode is centered around a different wellness topic designed to help women entrepreneurs to step away from the grind and allow a little more peace and ease into their day.

How many times have you sat down to finally get some rest and immediately felt guilty for not using that free time to work on your business? Yes, if you're an entrepreneur who is also managing the chaos of daily life, you absolutely have to fit in work time wherever you can. But that does not mean working during your allotted rest time. This week we're talking about Boss Guilt and some practical ways to push past it!
Do you ever struggle with “Boss Guilt”? If so, join in on the conversation inside of the ROOTED community!

Thinking back over my life, I've known hard-working women, loving women, and women who did what was needed to care for their families. But a relaxed woman? Not so much.

If you walk down the health, personal development, or even religion aisle, you’ll see that many of the shelves are filled with the memoirs of beautiful, blond-haired white women.
Walk down the career or business aisle and you’ll see books written by every tech bro imaginable on how he went from idea to building a “multi-million-trillion” dollar business.
I’m not saying that they don’t deserve to be in these spaces BUT as a black woman who has big dreams of writing several books that will prayerfully one day be seen on these shelves, it sometimes makes me question, am I qualified?
This week Im shining a light on 5 personal development and wellness books written by Black women.

Welcome to July! If you didn’t know, my mission for Mind Body Brand is to encourage women entrepreneurs (you) to prioritize rest so that you can break the cycle of stress and burnout. I want you to be successful but not at the expense of your personal well-being. For many of us, we have mixed emotions when it comes to rest. As an entrepreneur who is steadily grinding, maybe while holding down a 9 to 5, managing a household, or keeping up with your social life, the idea of taking time to rest can feel…lazy.
This week we're taking a deeper look into what rest is and the negative effects it can have on your business.

Happy Wednesday friend.
As I'm sitting here planning out this issue for you like I do every single Tuesday, this week I'm finding it hard to pull it together.
I don't know if it's the warm sun shining outside, the fact that I have some quiet time to myself or if the recent tragedy that took place in Nashville is really weighing on my heart, but I'm struggling to stay motivated right now.
But the problem is, I can't afford to stay in this space. I have deadlines and goals that need to be met. And outside of my regular self-care routine and "me day", in this current season that i'm in, there isn't much room for procrastination.
So while I'd rather be in the bed coloring on my iPad or aimlessly walking through Target, in this week's episode I'm sharing what I'm asking myself instead.

No matter how much you accomplished or didn't accomplish this year, remember that rest doesn't have to be earned. And you don't have to have this grand master plan ready as soon as the clock strikes midnight on January 1st. If you've been feeling the pressure of using this last week to plan for the new year, this is your permission to rest. While January 1st feels shiny, new and exciting, it is just another day on the calendar.
