Welcome back! In our first episode of 2026, we share how we spent our two-week company break, why we structure intentional pauses into our business, and what intentions we're each setting for the year ahead.

What We Cover

Company break structure – CoCreate Work closes three times a year with everyone off at the same time.

Resisting productivity creep – Why we chose to stay offline instead of "just doing a few more things."

Seven types of rest – Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's framework. Schedule rest intentionally if productivity is a core value.

Meeting yourself where you are – Create systems that work for you instead of judging yourself.

Setting intentions for 2026 – Chloe: "Do Epic Shit." La'Kita: Vision boards. Intentions become decision-making filters.

Key Takeaway

Company-wide breaks work. Share your intentions to make them more powerful. What we intend happens.
