Could a simple "rhythm reset" be the key to combating burnout, especially for women balancing the demands of home and career? Join me, Dr. Patrice Buckner-Jackson, affectionately known as PBJ, as we confront the common objections women face in prioritizing their well-being amidst life's hustle. We'll uncover the crucial need for integrating micro breaks into daily routines to safeguard physical and mental health. Discover practical strategies to transform rest from an elusive luxury into an attainable necessity, ensuring you're as effective at work as you are at home.

This engaging episode unpacks the art of planning micro breaks for mental rejuvenation without overwhelming your schedule. You’ll hear how my husband and I use our "weekenders" to recharge, allowing us to return refreshed rather than exhausted. We'll delve into the significance of strategic time management, even in short-staffed teams, by conducting desk audits that offer insights into workload distribution and uncover unacknowledged after-hours tasks. Learn how to communicate with unsupportive leadership to foster an environment that values mental health and well-being.

Beyond individual strategies, we'll explore the broader concept of strategic renewal, aligning personal well-being with organizational goals. By speaking the language of those we wish to influence, whether through data or stories, we can advocate for a sustainable rhythm of rest that benefits not just ourselves but everyone around us. We'll tackle objections to taking breaks and share creative ways to communicate and gain support for renewal plans. Join the conversation and take the first step towards showing up as your best self—it's time for a reset!
