Have you ever felt guilty for taking a break from work? Do you find it challenging to balance your creative pursuits with your professional responsibilities? If so, you're not alone. Many therapists struggle with feelings of guilt or abandon if they take time away from their practice and worry that clients will need them while they're gone or not come back to therapy once the vacation has ended. Edgar Fabián Frías, LMFT, and graduate of the Money Skills for Therapists course, brings their current challenge of allowing themselves permission to rest, trust the systems, and redefine what sustainability looks like in their work and life to the show. Edgar has built financial buffers and created sustainability in their practice, but not yet allowed themselves a real break. Balancing Rest and Business Growth If you are someone who finds it hard to take time off, and you know you need a break but you keep pushing that vacation into the future, here are a few questions Edgar and I work through: What if I lose connections with my clients during my time off? Will I have to start over again after taking a vacation? Will my clients seek support elsewhere if I'm not available for a month? What if my absence affects the progress and goals of my clients? What if taking time off leads to missed opportunities or setbacks in my practice? How can I take time for myself but also serve my clients well? Conquering the Fears Around Taking Time Off (00:00:10) Balancing Creativity with Professional Responsibilities (00:09:33) Therapists' Emphasis on Personal Growth Practices (00:14:06) Creative Breaks: Nurturing Therapist's Business Growth (00:16:28) The Transformative Power of Rest and Exploration (00:17:27) Creative Time Management for Productivity and Balance (00:22:35) Maintaining Financial Security During Extended Absences Elevating Your Therapy Services from a Place of Rest Overcoming the fear of taking time off is a journey that requires self-awareness, resilience, and a willingness to prioritize your well-being. As a therapist, it's essential to find a balance between work responsibilities and creative pursuits, while also ensuring financial stability and taking breaks to recharge. One practical tip is to create a schedule that allows for dedicated time for both work and creative activities. Set boundaries and stick to them, ensuring that you have time for self-care and relaxation. Remember, you deserve time off to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. Taking breaks can actually boost your creativity and productivity in the long run. (00:23:34) "And I honestly as like, you know someone who was so tainted by money and felt so out of control with it. It's been so amazing to be on the other side of it and be like, oh, my gosh, I'm comfortable with money. And I also feel like I have this ability to dream." - Edgar Fabián Frías (00:28:13) "When we never take time away, when we don't show them that we're living expansive lives, they know that on some level, you know, that we are someone who works all the time and isn't actually out exploring and enjoying the world, as we are often supporting our clients to be able to do so." - Linzy Bonham Interested in working with Linzy?

What if taking time off actually made your business stronger?In this episode, I chat with Operations Strategist and bestselling author Alyson Caffrey about redefining success, building systems that support real rest, and why your business shouldn't fall apart when you're not glued to your laptop.If you're craving more space to be present—with your family and in your work—you're going to want to hear this conversation. Alyson drops truth bombs and practical steps that will have you rethinking hustle culture in the best way possible. TAKEAWAYS:Success doesn't have to mean 80-hour workweeks and constant hustle. For Alyson, success evolved from chasing money to cultivating presence, and your definition can shift too.Systems aren't just tech tools; they're how you create consistency, ease, and trust in your business (especially when you want to step away).Taking time off isn't a luxury; it's a strategy. Use it to identify gaps, build team trust, and strengthen your business operations.Not sure where to start with delegating? Become the “assistor” in your business. Train your team (or future team!) to succeed without you by clearly defining outcomes.Even if you're a solopreneur, setting seasonal priorities gives your business clarity and helps filter decisions, so you're not doing all the things, all the time.RESOURCES: Check out the blog post that accompanies this episodeDownload Alyson's Remove Yourself From Your Business Handbook Listen to the Coach Business podcast with Caryn Gillen!

Conor Hogan, Teagasc's People in Dairy Programme Manager, joins Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge to discuss share farming as an option for generational renewal. Conor discusses the importance of managing time to keep the length of the working day in check and also the importance of getting time off or away from the farm also. This can be helped by being structured in the way work is approached. This element of work organisation and the potential that it has to create a good working environment is critical to attracting the next generation of farmers into the fold. Generational renewal is a big ticket item now with people looking at their options and it can no longer be taken as a given that there is a natural successor that will be interested in taking over the farm.  On the other hand there may also be people out there that are looking to farm but have no access to land. This creates opportunity and Conor goes on to discuss the idea of share farming as a solution to generational renewal in the absence of a natural successor. Conor says these arrangements can be win-win for both parties but that they are built on trust and communication.  Conor highlights the importance of farms being well maintained ahead of the owner potentially stepping back in order to ensure there isn't a mountain to climb in terms of investment in the business when the decision is made to take the next step.   This can be a significant handicap to the young person coming in as it will undermine the technical efficiency of the business in the early years which is critical to driving the financial success of the arrangement. Finally, Conor says that people should try to get time off in the next few weeks and then look to the future in terms of what they can do on their own farms to reduce the hours that they have to work and what they need to put in place to facilitate them taking as much time off as they want or as they feel is necessary to allow them have a good balance in their own lives. The preliminary National Farm Survey report for 2024 can be accessing at:https://teagasc.ie/wp-content/uploads/uploads/NFS-Preliminary-Report-2024.pdf    For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

In this episode, I'm sharing a personal update—I'm heading into surgery—and how I planned for real time off.

In this episode, gym owner and CrossFit Games athlete Bryce Broome shares how he built a profitable, systemized gym that lets him take regular time off to travel, train, compete and recharge.In fewer than two years, Bryce has developed a team that handles day-to-day operations when he's away—without sacrificing client care or profitability.He explains how business planning with a Two-Brain mentor set his gym up for success from Day 1: Before opening, he planned for staffing costs and scalability, identified his ideal culture, and hired staff who aligned with that culture. The result? A gym that pays him well and gives him time to enjoy life outside it. Proof: Bryce did this interview while on vacation, and he'll be taking more time off to compete in the CrossFit Games at the beginning of August.Tune in to hear Bryce's story and find out how you can start building a business that allows you to live the life you want.LinksGym Owners UnitedBook a Call  1:20 - Breakdown of Bryce's gym10:45 - Providing careers for staff15:22 - The value ladder exercise19:17 - How Bryce takes regular vacations28:05 - Advice for other gym owners

In Part 2 of our two-part interview with physical therapist Erika Mayall, we explore how ballet schools are supporting dancer health—and where they still fall short. Erika offers practical advice for dancers and families without access to dance-specific care, busts common ballet injury myths, and shares her favorite recovery tools and daily habits for long-term wellness. She also discusses how to recognize genuine wellness support versus “checking the box” in schools and what one key change could improve injury prevention across ballet training. Erika also has a fantastic podcast called The Dance Physio Podcast that we think every dancer and their parents should tune in and listen to.

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Michael Denehey interviews Joey Coleman, Chief Experience Composer at Design Symphony, shares insights on how business owners can design their first 100 days to foster momentum, clarity, and joy. He highlights the value of taking extended breaks, recommending at least two weeks to recharge and prevent burnout. Advocating for personal growth, Coleman encourages reading fiction and scheduling time for self-care to prioritize well-being. Additionally, he emphasizes celebrating achievements and maintaining a balance between work and personal life as key strategies for sustaining long-term success. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Design Your Own First 100 Days: Apply the same strategic thinking you use for customers and employees to yourself—plan your first 100 days of any new business phase with intention and clarity. Take True Time Off to Reset: Even a 10+ day break (ideally more) away from work and tech can dramatically reset your energy, creativity, and focus. You're not just resting—you're recharging your leadership capacity. Celebrate Small Wins Regularly: Don't wait for big milestones to celebrate—acknowledge small victories to boost motivation and prevent burnout. Even a solo movie or walk can be a powerful reward. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Grow Yourself, Not Just the Business: Set personal growth goals with the same focus you give business metrics. A stronger, wiser version of you is needed to lead the next stage of your company. Protect Appointments with Yourself: Treat time with yourself as sacred. If you wouldn't cancel a client meeting, don't cancel on yourself. Your well-being directly impacts your business health. Rediscover Joy Through Non-Business Activities: Read fiction, take a dance class, explore hobbies—doing things that have no direct business ROI can reignite creativity and emotional resilience. One action small business owners can take:  According to Joey Coleman, one action a small business owner should take is a 10-day (or longer) true break from work—completely unplugged from emails, calls, and business tasks—to reset, gain clarity, and return with renewed energy.

The rest of your life does not come with summers off. In school, you get days off—snow days, holiday breaks, and long summer vacations. Many kids complain the summers need to be longer and school is too hard. But once they step into adulthood, the rhythm changes. There are no built-in summers off, and life becomes a long, steady mundane journey—one that ends only when you drop dead and step into eternity. This perspective might not sound very encouraging, but it's actually an opportunity to rethink your mindset about work, rest, and the purpose of your life.
