If your version of "time off" is scrolling on the couch while mentally auditing your funnel, this episode is your intervention. 🚀

Let's be honest—most course creators have mastered the art of fake rest. You know the kind: laptop at every family gathering "just in case," mentally planning your January launch over Christmas lunch, checking your Stripe account while pretending to watch holiday movies. But here's what I learned the hard way: fake rest doesn't refill your tank. It just makes everything feel heavier when January hits.

Today I'm walking you through my Clock Out CEO Checklist so you can actually put your business to bed for a few weeks. We're covering money, marketing, operations, and boundaries—plus a tiny reflection ritual to help you walk into 2026 with more clarity than most people have all year.

• Discover why rest is a business strategy, not a reward you earn

• Spot the sneaky signs of "fake rest" draining your creativity
