Podcasts about taking time

For many parents - especially mothers - returning to the workforce means navigating self-doubt, changing workplace expectations and the challenge of balancing work with caregiving responsibilities. Nat Fetalvero and Gerald Tan speak with Celia Au, a mother of two who left her job for five years to care for her children, one of whom was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. She talks about the realities of job hunting after a long absence and why supportive managers can make all the difference. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailTaking Time Out. Sometimes when we take  time out for ourselves it can feel like a bit of a luxury but actually it's not, it's important for our wellbeing and those around us. When we feel rested, connected, we are in a lot better place to function emotionally as well physically. I felt a lot more grounded after allowing myself a little me time, which seems a little odd to say, as I often have time to myself (I love my own company and the freedom it allows) but that's not the same as connecting to your own inner stillness/guidance   That is the connection we are aiming for, as it helps in all areas of our lives, not just our horses.So remember, take time out for yourself, even if it is only for a few moments as the more you do this, the more it will be come part of your routine.You are important and you deserve "me" time, so go ahead and take a little you time, the next time your body prompts you.Best wishes Regards Ronnie  Video version (alongside applicable podcasts) can be viewed on facebook and YouTube.https://www.facebook.com/equinevoices.co.ukhttps://www.youtube.com/@equinevoicesukhttps://www.instagram.com/equinevoices.ukContact Ronnie.mailto:equinevoicesronnie@gmail.com

Most business owners think working nonstop is a sign of commitment. But the real problem is this: The longer you go without real rest… …the worse your decisions become. In this episode of the New Jersey Business Podcast, Paul & Vanessa sit down with Joe Leo, owner of JBL Travel Group, to break down why so many entrepreneurs struggle to disconnect from their business and how intentional time off can dramatically improve clarity, performance, leadership, and long-term growth. This conversation is not really about travel. It's about burnout, mental fatigue, decision-making, systems, recovery, and learning how to step away from your business without losing control. Joe shares what he has seen after helping clients plan high-value trips and vacations for more than 14 years, including why so many business owners wait too long to take time off, why most vacations fail to actually recharge people, and how poor planning creates even more stress instead of relief. This episode challenges the way entrepreneurs think about productivity, hustle culture, and rest. Because rest is not laziness. It's strategy. If you constantly feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, unable to disconnect, or trapped inside your business, this episode will completely change the way you think about time off, recovery, and business performance.

Can a solo agent actually take a real vacation and come back to a business that's still intact? In this episode, I'm walking y'all through a real-time case study of taking time off as a solo agent. I just got back from a nine-day trip to Czech and Austria, and Katy is grilling me on every detail of how I prepped, who helped, what almost fell apart, and what I'd do differently next time.   I share the honest truth about the weeks leading up to the trip, the colleague I paid to help me, the client who almost slipped through my fingers, and the in-flight Wi-Fi disaster that had me texting offer responses across the Atlantic. If you've ever wondered whether you can step away from your real estate business without the whole thing falling apart, this one's for you.   In this episode we cover:   - Why I started panicking a month before my trip and how I got my mindset back - How I picked the colleague who helped me and what I paid her for nine days - The coffee meeting that gave me peace of mind before I left - The client who almost ghosted me because I was going to be out of town - How I scheduled closings strategically so I wouldn't have to worry while away - The email system I taught my helper (and why she said it was amazing) - The phone calls I did and didn't take from Europe - Why FaceTiming the kids backfired and what worked instead - The plane Wi-Fi nightmare that turned my flight home into a stress test - Why I should have given myself more buffer days when I got back - The lender disaster I came home to and how my exhaustion actually helped   Key quotes from the episode:   - "You cannot put a price on peace of mind." - Alissa - "We are not emergency room doctors." - Alissa - "Don't save those trips for when you retire. We all know Realtors don't retire." - Katy - "You have a job so you can have a life. So you have to actually live the life." - Katy - "If I can go to Europe for nine days as a solo agent, so can you." - Alissa   Products and episodes mentioned: - Episode 57: Taking a Day Off - Episode 102: Vacations, How-To Guide - Episode 331: Kim Lafleur's Vacation (phone left with the team) - Email Templates 101: http://emailtemplates101.com - Agent Systems 101: http://agentsystems101.com   If this episode gave you a little nudge to actually plan that trip, we'd love a toast on the show.

Do you ever worry that taking regular time off from your private practice will cause your business to fall apart? Therapist work-life balance is something I hear from therapists all the time and in today's episode, I'm sharing how to build a private practice that supports you so you can take more time off as a therapist. I walk you through how to prepare your clients before you take time off, how to handle the "but is that fair?" guilt that creeps in when you start setting boundaries around your schedule, and how to use my free tool to run the numbers so you can actually afford the time off you want. I also get real about why not setting these boundaries leads to burnout and resentment toward your clients, and why your cancellation policy and your personal time off policy are two very different things. If you've been wanting more freedom in your private practice but don't know where to start, this episode will show you how to get there.Topics covered on Therapist Work-Life Balance:How one of my clients takes an entire week off every single month from her therapy practiceHaving honest conversations with your current and new clients about your time off without losing their trustWhy some clients might actually welcome your time away and how your modality plays a role in determining what schedule works bestBreaking down why therapist work-life balance doesn't happen by accident and why you need a concrete plan to get thereThe Magic Sheets, my free tool that helps you simulate changes in your business so you can figure out exactly what needs to shift for you to take more time offYour time off policy and your client cancellation policy are two completely separate things, and they do not need to be equal or fairMy story about missing a session with a client and what my supervisor told me that changed how I think about therapist work-life balance and setting boundaries in private practiceResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessGet my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsThe Fee Formula: https://www.thebadtherapist.coach/feeformulaConnect with Felicia:Instagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachRelated episodes:How to Uphold Your Cancellation Policy Without Feeling Guilty [Ep 19]Quote:"Achieving your goals does not happen by accident.

Episode Title: Beyond the Signal: Why ‘Taking Time' is the Ultimate ConnectionDescription: Just because you have a five-bar signal doesn't mean you have a relationship. In the world of family business, it is easy to confuse being "connected" with actually being in sync.In this Mid-Week Check-in, Chris Black moves beyond the tech to talk about the heartbeat of the FamBoss Frequency: the people on the other end of the mic. At DCCI, communication is the product, but at home, it's the lifeblood. Chris dives into the "Always On" trap that many entrepreneurs fall into—where the phone becomes a tether that tells your family they come second to a client.Using a powerful radio analogy, Chris explains how many families "mash the PTT button" at the same time, creating nothing but static at the dinner table. If you want a family legacy that lasts as long as your business, you have to treat "taking time" as a maintenance requirement, not a luxury.In this 7-minute deep dive, we discuss:The Five-Bar Fallacy: Why technical connectivity doesn't equal emotional connection.Maintenance for the Marriage: Why your relationship needs a pit stop more often than your service trucks.The Radio Reality: Learning when to stop talking and start receiving the "Home Frequency."Protecting the Perimeter: How the Black family creates a "Home Zone" to keep business stress from ruining the peace.Don't let your business connection ruin your family connection.

We're brilliant at looking forwards. At setting goals. At planning what's next. But taking time to genuinely look back and celebrate what we've achieved? To acknowledge the obstacles we've overcome, the solutions we've created, the progress we've made? That's something we tend to skip right past. And I think that's a real shame. Because that reflection, that celebration, it's not indulgent. It's strategic. It's how we build sustainable success. In this year end episode, we're pausing to do what creative entrepreneurs rarely give themselves permission to do: look back and genuinely acknowledge how far we've come. We'll explore why we skip this crucial step, why it matters more than you might think, and what happens when you give yourself space to reflect on where your exceptional strengths showed up this year.   Key Moments: [01:39] Taking time to celebrate how far you have come [02:53] Why we skip this step: The real power of looking back [08:40] My personal reflection [10:44] The one powerful question to reflect on over the next few days: where did your exceptional strengths show up this year? [13:39] A gentle invitation   Notable Quotes: "When you take time to acknowledge how far you've come, something changes. You start to see your capabilities more clearly. You recognise patterns in what works for you. You build confidence in your ability to solve problems and overcome challenges."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's Full Journal Post Link: Why Taking Time Off Work is The Smartest Productivity Strategy Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Send an Email: news@philippacraddock.com   Share Your Insights: I'd love to hear from you: Where did your exceptional strengths show up this year?

What if working LESS is the smartest business growth strategy for 2026? Michael Walsh went three years without a vacation—grinding relentlessly, believing scaling required personal sacrifice. Then his wife forced him to take time off. The result? He generated $10,000 in new sales—more than any previous week. He tested further, taking the last week of every month off. His income kept growing. After 30+ years helping $2M-$20M companies scale, Michael has proven that people-first business growth outperforms systems-first approaches every time. What You'll Discover: ✅ The $10,000 vacation discovery - Why strategic time off accelerates revenue instead of slowing it down ✅ The relationship complexity math - Why 100 people = 4,950 relationships, explaining why your systems break as you scale from $1M to $10M ✅ Survive, Thrive, Connect, Adapt framework - Practical roadmap for understanding human behavior structures that support your people to be at their best ✅ Why your people are your #1 brand story customer - How training influencers (even janitors and cafeteria workers) instead of just executives creates authentic brand ambassadors ✅ The social contract that works - Why professional growth takes pressure off top dollar, and how two-minute weekly conversations replace twice-yearly performance theater ✅ Intelligent ecosystems vs. machines - Why "I'm the boss, you do what I say" fails in service businesses, and how to build adaptive capacity ✅ AI and the Age of Creativity - How AI is eliminating junior jobs and what the shift from Information Age to Age of Creativity means for your business About Michael Walsh: Michael Walsh is founder of Walsh Business Growth Institute and author of Freedom by Design: The Established Business Owner's Guide to Grow, Make an Impact, and Find the Joy Again.

Have you ever felt the pull to deepen your healing—but found yourself terrified of what might surface if you actually slowed down long enough to listen? If you're like many people on a concussion or trauma-related healing journey, you might be unintentionally doing the very thing that keeps you stuck: staying in your head, trying to control every outcome, and avoiding the "box" of unresolved experiences you're afraid might burst open. But here's the truth—healing rarely happens in the mind alone. And when you try to logic your way through everything, you disconnect from the very place your healing actually begins: your body. In this episode, Natasha shares a raw and personal update as she heads into a 300-hour somatic-based trauma training in Spain—reflecting on what it takes to be open, curious, and courageous in your own healing… even when you have no idea what might come up. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why staying "in your head" can stall nervous system and concussion recovery The deeper connection between trauma, the body, and persistent symptoms What it really feels like to surrender control and let your healing unfold How you can start reconnecting with your own body in small, safe, meaningful ways Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting someone else, this episode is your reminder to slow down, breathe, and come home to yourself—one moment at a time.     Let's Connect! @concussionnerds https://www.instagram.com/concussionnerds/ @natasha.wilch https://www.instagram.com/natasha.wilch/ Email: hello@natashawilch.com Website: https://www.natasha-wilch.com Learn how to connect & understand your nervous system so you can have greater outcomes in your health & healing journey: Grab a copy of the workbookhttps://www.natashawilch.com/understanding-connecting-your-nervous-system-1   Join the Clinician's Edge to have Your Weekly Taste of Neuro Wisdom  here: https://www.natashawilch.com/clinicians-edge   Join the Concussion Mini School and Membership!

How much do you reflect on all that you've been forgiven of?

Taking time

The holidays don't start in December. They start now—right here, in the quiet before the whirlwind begins. If you wait until the week of Thanksgiving to get ready, you'll find yourself staying up too late wrapping gifts, juggling family gatherings, cleaning in a frenzy before company arrives, and wondering where all your peace went. In this episode, I'm walking you through the home systems you need in place before the holidays hit—so you can actually slow down, enjoy your family, and still have the space to check in on your business if you want to. Because when you prepare your home now, you create the margin that lets you rest, connect, and be fully present through the season ahead. xoxo, Chelsi Jo . . . . If this episode is stirring something in you—the desire to finally live and work from a place of calm instead of chaos—it's time to take the next step. Inside Systemize to Scale, you'll learn how to systemize both your home and your business so you can move through every season with focus, peace, and consistency. You don't need to keep running on empty or waiting for the “perfect time” to get organized. That time is now. We'll help you build the foundation that allows you to stay present with your family, grow your business with confidence, and finally feel like you're not dropping the ball anywhere.
