Podcasts about taking a break

If you're struggling to take a break, you're not alone. In this episode, I explain why it's okay (and necessary!) to take breaks or make a shift, even from work you love, and how pushing nonstop leads to exhaustion, burnout, and harm to your business and clients.  Many service-based business owners fear that slowing down means business will slow down, but there's a better way to manage that. Let's replace guilt with grace - let the business serve you, too.  00:00 It's Okay to Pause (Even From What You Love) 01:24 The Hustle Myth: Why 'Pushing Through' Leads to Burnout 02:23 Give Yourself Grace: Boundaries, Expectations, and Needing Breaks 03:11 Real-Life Wake-Up Call: Getting Sick and Being Forced to Stop 04:05 Protect Your Peace: Health, Reputation, and Listening to the Signs 04:31 Client-Proofing Your Breaks: Flex Schedule Language in Your Contract 04:55 Modeling Self-Care: Why Stepping Back Helps You and Your Clients 06:02 What's Next: Shifting Schedule, Revisit Past Episodes, Stay Connected   RESOURCES

pressing pauseAn extended break from the production of conscient podcast, balado conscient, a calm presence and related social mediaWhy do this? One reason is that I noticed that I sleep better when I don't produce podcasts or essays about the end of the world as we know it.Imagine that.But it's also because my learning and unlearning journey, which I began back in 2020, some 5 years ago, has come full circle. It feels like the end of a chapter.I sometimes think of it as a five-year mission to explore strange new art, to seek out solutions to the ecological crisis and to boldly talk about things that have never been talked about before. Maybe they have, but it's worth repeating.You know, it was a trek, with many mistakes and a few discoveries. And, of course, there are many, many more stories yet to be told that can inspire us to action, or at the very least comfort us in troubled times.There are many more examples of transformative artworks that I hope we will know about and eventually experience.There are many more questions, good questions, to be asked by artists.Also, artists can play a role in providing us with a few moments of respite and escape from the doom and gloom around us. I see the value in this kind of media and storytelling work and support whoever is doing it, as best I can. But for me, it's time to press pause. There's a quote that I want to read to you that's my northern star. It's by the great Vietnamese zen master Thich Nhat Hanh:What we most need to do is to hear within us the sound of the Earth crying. I'm going to think about this and have it at the heart of my daily life and think about what it means to listen deeply to the sounds of the earth crying, which is essentially ourselves. How can this insight lead to healing?  We'll see where my spirit takes me.  I really have no idea where it's going to go.  Before ending this last Substack posting I wanted to remind you that I've recently published four new podcast episodes of conscient podcast, 2 in English et 2 en Français. On conscient podcast: An ENCORE presentation of e41 – emergency preparedness from 2021 with Jen Rae, a Melbourne, Australia based artist, researcher, facilitator and educator of Canadian Red River Métis and Scottish descent who talks about the intersection between art, emergency preparedness, disaster risk-reduction and resilience, which seems very timely in 2026 as these issues are amplified. There is some very good ideas and positive energy coming out of Jen's work. e244 roundtable - death as transformation, recorded on December 2, 2025 and originally broadcast on December 13, 2025 as an episode of the Making Waves radio program, where I moderated a panel of sound artists and previous guests of conscient podcast, Azul Carolina Duque, Kenneth Newby, andWendelin Bartley about our understanding of ‘death as a natural transformation of energy and consciousness, not an end' and how our practices as sound artists relate to this transition.Sur le balado conscient :un episode ENCORE l'épisode 27 - l'énergie créatrice libreavec l'artiste sonore, musicienne, réalisatrice radio, sculpteure et une bonne amie de longue date, Hélène Prévost qui nous parle de sa tristesse pour l'état du monde et comment l'art, s'il est libre, peut devenir un puissant levier de changement et de ralliement social. Un bon rappel pour 2026. é171 - villeray acoustique avec deux artistes sonores, Magali Babin et Chantal Dumas, le collectif dB, un entretien enregistré pour un article dans la Revue Circuit, qui parle du projet de recherche-création Villeray acoustiqueune exploration de l'écoute de ce quartier de Montréal comme expérience sensorielle. Vous allez entendre notre conversation et aussi une prise de son du parc Jarry à Montréal par Magali Babin. There you go.Thank you so much for reading and listening over these many years. It's been my privilege to be able to express myself and receive your feedback. Thanks to my guests and collaborators on all these platforms.I'm now going to go silent for a long time, possibly forever, depending on the outcomes of my reflections. Take care. See you down the road… *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020. It's my way to give back.This Indigenous Land Acknowledgement statement was developed by members of the Algonquin community for my former employer the Canada Council for the Arts. I have adapted slightly to make it my own.I acknowledge that my studio, located in Ottawa, is on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.I recognize the Algonquins as the customary keepers and defenders of the Ottawa River Watershed and its tributaries. I honour their long history of welcoming many Nations to this beautiful territory and uphold and uplift the voice and values of our Host Nation.Further, I offer my respect and affirm the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land and honour commitments to self-determination and sovereignty that have been made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.I acknowledge the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believe the Arts contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share togetherIn parallel with the production of the conscient podcast and its francophone counterpart, balado conscient, I I publish a free ‘a calm presence' monthly Substack see https://acalmpresence.substack.com.Your feedback is always welcome at claude@conscient.ca and/or on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, Tik Tok, YouTube and Substack.Share what you like, etcI am grateful and accountable to the earth and the human labour that provided me with the privilege of producing this podcast, including the toxic materials and extractive processes behind the computers, recorders, transportation systems and infrastructure that made this production possible.

After years of weekly conversations unpacking consumer psychology, growth strategy, and how brands actually make decisions, they step back to talk candidly about priorities, growth, and what it looks like when your work evolves faster than the containers around it. They unpack why Brain Driven Brands started, what it became, and why it's time to pause and rethink what comes next. Along the way, they reflect on personal growth, career shifts, and the behind-the-scenes realities of running fast-growing businesses without pretending it's all tidy or linear. You'll also hear: Why "packaging" matters just as much as skill when it comes to brands and personal brands What Tether Insights actually does, and why most research misses the real reasons people buy Nate's work scaling supplement brands, building from zero to one, and treating messaging as a growth lever, not "just copy" Why pauses can be strategic, not stagnant This isn't a goodbye it's just a pause for now. A reminder that growth sometimes means stepping back to build the next version properly.

In this episode, Megan Kerrigan and Annabelle dive into the connection between enjoyment and progress in Irish dance. They chat about how, when the fun starts to fade, dancers often find themselves making more mistakes, losing focus, and feeling mentally drained, not because they aren't capable, but because they're exhausted. Together, they explore why enjoyment is such an important part of learning, how pressure can quietly build over time, and why taking small mental breaks can make a huge difference.

Can't Keep Pretending Everything's “Fine” and I Need to Be Honest.Queenssss…this has been a long time coming, and it's time for me to be real with you.For months now I've been in a season of uncertainty. Not burnout, not boredom but a genuine transition — the kind where you know you're changing, but you've not fully landed in the new version yet. (The messy middle!!)And while I've tried recording for the sake of it…I've tried planning for the sake of it…I've tried pushing through the resistance…I'm finally at the point where I won't and can't do it anymore.I am in a personal transformation phase spiritually, mentally, emotionally and even in how I see business. I know that clarity doesn't come through forcing. It comes through quiet time, faith, stillness, and surrender.Because of this, here's what's happening:✨ I'm pausing ALL Patreon subscriptionsNo more payments will be taken from 1st December.You'll still have access to everything already inside though. Every solo episode, every ad-free episode, the whole library.I just won't be uploading anything new while I'm in this “messy middle stage.”✨ The BGA Podcast is also going on pauseIt's not ending completely and it's definitely not gone forever but I can feel deep in my bones that when I come back… I'll be coming back differently.A fresh voice.A deeper perspective.More aligned.More faith-led.More “me.”Right now, I simply need to step away from the noise so I can hear what God is actually saying to me next. I know there are some big changes & plans for me but I need to be patient and wait for them to land completely. If you've ever outgrown a treatment, a client, a job, a colleague or even an old version of yourself… you'll get this.It's not that it was bad.It's not that you weren't grateful.It's just that the season changed and that ‘thing' didn't fully align with you anymore. And that's ok! Staying “for the sake of it” or trying to force it starts costing you your joy, clarity and authenticity.That's exactly where I am right now & I know I need to step back.

Send Krystal a Text Message.Stepping away from something you've built for over seven years isn't easy.

What do disciplining a child, teaching preschool and taking good care of yourself have in common? The answer might surprise you. This week’s episode is inspired by a parenting technique that seemed too simple to actually work. But as soon as I watched this alarmingly unsophisticated tactic have wild success with my four and five year olds—and their friends—I had to ask myself: maybe there’s value in even the adults taking a break? How long should the break be? Why is this straightforward tool so powerful? Perhaps it has to do with putting us back in touch with our higher selves, our creative nature, our intuitive voice. To learn how taking a short break can combat burnout, calm big emotions and get you unstuck (and even how it can bring order to unruly preschoolers) take a listen and let me know what you think. Where do you need to take a break?

On this week's solo episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm keeping it real with you. This is my last episode before I take a much-needed pause, and I want to share why.I'm opening up about what burnout really feels like as a beauty pro and entrepreneur, and why it's so important for us to prioritize our health for longevity in this industry. From setting and honoring boundaries with clients, to living in Washington, DC during such a tense political climate, to processing the weight of world news in Gaza, Sudan, and Libya — it's been a lot.This episode is my reminder to you (and to myself): we don't have to glorify pushing through exhaustion. Rest is revolutionary. Boundaries are protection. And longevity in beauty comes when we choose peace over pressure.✨ Tune in, reflect with me, and know that this pause is not the end — it's the reset Friends in Beauty needs to grow even bigger and better.Oh yea! And I'm doing my makeup so you get to see some of my favorite beauty products and try some new ones with me!If you've ever felt burnt out, overwhelmed, or unsure how to balance your artistry with your well-being, this episode is for you.

Episode 3699: Randi Kay explores how taking intentional breaks can reveal deeper truths about our relationship with productivity, rest, and self-worth. By sharing personal insights from her own healing sabbatical, she invites us to reimagine self-care not as indulgence but as essential practice for living with clarity and alignment. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.naturallyrandikay.com/post/what-taking-a-break-can-teach-you-about-self-care Quotes to ponder: "Resting for the sake of productivity is not rest."

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi Jamison and Dave! I am not a developer, but my question is hopefully transferable. I sit in between lawyers and developers. I advise on technology that can be applied to legal processes and I support our teams in using a range of platforms and AI tools to be more efficient across their work. I have ADHD (late diagnosis at 22) and often have trouble with executive function, remembering details, progressing large projects with no deadlines, and remembering verbal instructions. Have either of you ever had a neurodivergent person on your team? If so, how did you support them? What environment helped them to work best? Also, what frustrations did you have and how could they have mitigated them? Any help would be appreciated to help me avoid driving my manager insane (I live in constant fear that one day she will snap and I'll be fired even multiple years in).
