44. Don't Be a Burnout Hero: Why Taking a Real Lunch Break Matters

In this episode, let's explore the importance of taking breaks, particularly focusing on the elusive lunch break, and how they can rejuvenate our creativity and overall well-being. I share my personal experiences about juggling life as a mom of four, a teacher, and a business owner while ensuring that I take time for myself. We dive into the common issue many caregivers face—neglecting our own needs while taking care of others.

I'll talk about how I used to skip my lunch breaks or work through them, thinking there wasn't enough time to rest and how I've since learned the value of taking that essential pause. Whether you work in a high-pressure environment like a school or have responsibilities at home, it’s crucial to carve out moments just for you.

I'll share practical tips on how to make the most of your breaks, from taking a walk, enjoying a creative activity, to simply relaxing in a quiet space. This episode encourages you to reflect on how you're spending your breaks and offers inspiration to make these moments more restful and impactful.

Join me as we delve into the importance of rest, the joy of creativity, and the power of play to help us move past overwhelm and thrive in our daily lives.
