Why Slowing Down Will Get You Further

In this episode of Unapologetically Wild, I’m diving into the balance between high performance and rest, and why so many women are getting it wrong.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that more output equals more success, but what I’ve learnt, both personally and through working with high-performing women, is that without rest, there is no sustainability.
I share a glimpse into my own day, moving between high-energy output and intentional stillness, and how learning to listen to my body has completely shifted the way I lead, train, and live.
We also explore the different seasons of life and business - building, consolidating, and expanding - and why understanding where you are allows you to move with more clarity and less pressure.
This episode is your reminder that rest isn’t something you earn. It’s something that allows you to hold more, lead better, and create from a place that actually feels good.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why high-performing women often resist rest
- The link between burnout, injury, and overdoing
- Understanding your seasons of growth and expansion
- How small moments of rest build long-term capacity
- The connection between stillness and better decision-making
- Leading and living from a place of balance, not depletion

About Kadi
Meet Kadi Sonntag, the unapologetically wild woman leading the charge on living life boldly and breaking free from the limits society tries to set. Born in Maitland in 1992 and raised in Newcastle, Kadi’s love for sports (anything but school!) started early.
From swimming at a national level to competing in high jump at nationals and playing representative basketball, Kadi was always moving, growing, and pushing herself. In high school, she was the sports and school captain, proving leadership comes naturally.
At 19, Kadi took a leap and joined the army, starting as an admin clerk and eventually becoming an army physical training instructor in 2019. She’s served on peacekeeping missions in the Middle East, taken part in exercises in Asia, and now holds the rank of sergeant. Talk about resilience!
When she’s not leading in the military, Kadi’s got her sidekick—her dog Piper—and she’s all about empowering women to tap into their inner strength, unleash their wildest selves, and live unapologetically. Whether she’s playing for the Defence National Basketball Team or sharing her journey on Unapologetically Wild, Kadi is here to help women break free, find their power, and live on their own terms.
