This episode is being released on Christmas Day - and if you’re listening today, I’m really glad you’re here. Whether you’re hiding from chaos, peeling potatoes, avoiding small talk, or simply enjoying some quiet, this one is for you.
This isn’t an episode about planning, goal-setting, or using the time between Christmas and New Year wisely. There’s no strategy here. Instead, this is a breathing-space episode, a gentle pause in the noise of business, life, and the online world.
I talk about why proper time off feels harder than ever, especially when our businesses live on our phones and in our heads. We explore the myth that we have to be available all the time, the pressure to fill every gap with content or productivity, and why making space for what actually matters isn’t a luxury - it’s essential.
I share reflections from my own business after closing my group programme, going into this quieter period without pressure for the first time in years, and noticing how creativity returns when you stop forcing it. We talk about the beauty of doing less, why volume isn’t the answer, and how human connection has been quietly replaced by clicks, likes, and noise.
This episode is also an invitation to step back, to stop narrating everything, to let yourself enjoy moments without turning them into content, and to remember that business is not your whole identity.
✨ You don’t need to optimise this moment. You’re allowed to rest, exist, and make space for what matters, without explaining yourself.
