If you’re tired of feeling like time off is only for empire builders and “productivity hacks,” I’m right there with you (and, spoiler alert: I’m not buying it either).

I’m pulling back the curtain on how I—just one person, no team—manage to take 5-7 weeks off every year without ghosting my clients or sacrificing a paycheck. I’ll walk you through my not-super-fancy-but-very-effective process for planning time off, building in margin, and balancing client work with living a life you actually want. This episode is all about making time off possible for real people, with actual client loads and maybe a kid whose school calendar controls your existence.

Key Takeaways:

• Block your time off first—even if it’s just a weekend or a random Tuesday—then plan your projects around it.

• Set clear boundaries with clients up front, and don’t be afraid to say, “That week’s not an option.”

• Build in breathing room before and after vacations so you’re not playing catch-up (or meltdown) when you get back.

This podcast is for business owners who are tired of hustle culture and want relatable, honest conversations about running a sustainable business that actually works for their life.
