It’s easy to get trapped in the idea that productivity means we have to work constantly, and then feeling guilty about breaks and time off, but breaks are essential for replenishing energy and creativity! I’m always pro-break, but during extreme events (like a pandemic) you might need even more breaks than you’re used to. I know, easier said than done, but in this episode you’ll learn what it can look like to integrate more breaks into your work, even in the busiest of schedules, and all of the benefits that come with that.

🥳 New coaching offering: Rise Above the Overwhelm (1-time sessions are back, by popular demand!)
In this laser-focused single coaching session, we’ll start by reviewing what’s going on in your life and work to figure out what’s making you overwhelmed, and get to the root of it, so you can get unstuck.
You’ll learn how to use your time and energy more wisely to cultivate more balance and true, self-compassionate productivity (instead of nonstop work that leads you to burnout), and leave with resources and tangible action steps to make sure you have space for what really matters in your life and creative work!
More info at bit.ly/riseaboveoverwhelm, or hop on a free discovery call first if you have questions!
