Episode 60: The importance of taking time off

Beautiful Soul-Led Life Podcast

Show Notes

Have you ever thought about taking time off, but thought it just wasn't possible in your situation, or something that only other people can do? Today, I want to remind us all, especially as women, that we absolutely do have the opportunity to gift ourselves permission to take time off, and I'm going to show you why this is such an important conversation to be having. In this episode, I reveal what I mean by taking time off, and I share studies that show real world proof about the value of this practice. I give my own experience with stepping away and the magic that has happened each and every time that I have made the conscious decision to do this. Whether it's a sabbatical, a weekend away or just one day all to yourself, I hope that you really begin to consider seeing the value of taking time off as something that is so profound, because not only is taking time off important, but it is a necessary thing to do. In this potent episode you'll hear: The first time that my husband and I gave ourselves permission to feel into the value of taking time off [7:12]

How I have come to realize that taking time off is a necessity, not just luxury [9:52]

Why it's so important for each of us to define what taking time off means to us individually [11:48]

How I have carefully designed my life to support me in taking time away and what has happened each time that I have made the conscious decision to do it [12:27]

A look at a research study that demonstrates the power in taking time off [15:48]

Some of the different ways to approach taking a sabbatical [16:53]

As I share in the episode I'll be taking the month of August off, but I want to breathe new life into the podcast by bringing a deeper level of intimacy and connection. If you have a question that you would like answered in a future episode, you can send it to [email protected] (using the subject line "Podcast Question") and my team will gather those questions for when I return in September. I'll be answering the ones that I feel will give the most value to our community of listeners, so please reach out if there has been something you've had a desire to ask and to be answered. I'll see you back here in September with brand-new episodes of Your Beautiful Soul-Led Life, and if you haven't yet you can opt-in to our email list at www.elegantfemme.com to keep up to date with all the gorgeous things we have coming for you this Fall!
