Happy Thanksgiving to our U.S. listeners! This week, Shannon and Janine discuss the value of taking a true break from things you do regularly. And announce that we're walking the walk by taking a hiatus from the podcast for five weeks. (We'll return on December 30.)

Discussion topics include:

• We're taking a break!

• Our decision to take a podcast hiatus between Thanksgiving and the end of the year

• The value of taking a real break to refresh and revitalize

• Getting new things out of re-listening to podcast episodes (we think we have some good nuggets!)

• Please send us ideas for topics for future episodes!

• Stopping midstream to make it easier to come back to something

• We encourage you to take a break from something you're doing regularly without worry

• Our feeling that whatever we gain from taking a break will far outweigh anything we might lose

Wishing you a great five weeks! We look forward to recording again in the new year!
