In this episode, I share a simple ritual I used for 35 years to separate work from home life as a shift worker.

Like many of you, I often came home still feeling “on duty.” To change that, I carried a coin during every shift and left it in my locker at the end. That small act created a clear mental boundary, protecting my health, my relationships, and my ability to be present at home.

Your ritual doesn’t need to be complicated—it could be a deep breath, a change of clothes, or a short walk. What matters is creating consistency so you can recharge and show up better both at home and at work.
