Podcasts about Time Off

Taking time off as a therapist feels borderline reckless, even though your clients disappear for two weeks every summer without a flicker of guilt. Summer arrives, the cancellations roll in, your calendar opens up, and instead of enjoying the space you feel that dread I call the summer slump.Good therapist conditioning taught you that being available equals being dedicated, so stepping back feels like letting people down, and underneath it sits one big fear: if I am not in the room, my business will fall apart.In today's episode, I'm diving into what has to be true for time off to feel safe, the revenue streams and coverage that make it possible, and how to build the business around the life you want rather than the other way around.If your clients can vanish for two weeks and everything keeps running, it might be time to ask why you can't. Let's find your date.Topics covered on How to Take Time Off as a Therapist:The reason taking time off as a therapist feels so scary in summer, and why your vacation ends up feeling twice as expensiveGood therapist conditioning and the belief that constant availability is what makes you dedicatedWhat has to be in place before time off feels safe instead of like a gambleWhy most therapists build their practice backwards, and the order that finally fits your lifeConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachQuote:"If your clients can disappear for 2 weeks and everything's fine, it might be time to ask why you can't."

I'm sitting in my trackies with a bump that's getting pretty big, and I wanted to give you the unpolished version of how I'm preparing for maternity leave. Because every mat leave I've taken has looked completely different, and this one's got more moving parts than the last two combined. A team on retainer. A course. A coaching program. A design studio. And a funnel I switched from live to evergreen a month ago that, if I'm honest with you, hasn't made a sale yet. I'm walking you through what's actually happening behind the scenes. How I'm paying my team while I take two months off. Why I've pre-recorded content through to October. What I'm handing over to my team. And the bit nobody really talks about, which is what happens when the passive income you built your whole business around... isn't being very passive right now. If you want to look at the exact funnel I've built, watch my Free Canva Masterclass: Design Tools to $100k

Send us Fan MailYou took the time off. It was yours to take. A vacation, a holiday weekend, a few days you genuinely needed. But it is your first morning back, and before you have even read a single message, you feel your shoulders tighten. The unread count is sitting there. And already, before you know anything about what is actually waiting for you, the apology is forming in your head.“So sorry for the delay.” “Apologies for being out.” “Sorry, just catching up now.”You have not done anything wrong. So why does returning to work after time off so often start with an apology for having taken it?Here is what most women leaders miss: the way you come back sets the tone for how your entire absence gets read. And you have far more control over that than you think.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton unpacks the quiet habit that undermines women leaders the moment they return to work after time off: leading the re-entry with an apology instead of authority. She reveals what that apology is really buying you, why the habit of over-apologizing at work is so hard to break, and the small language shift that changes how your absence gets read.What You Will LearnWhy opening your first day back with an apology quietly frames your time off as a cost others had to absorb, and what that signals to leadership.The hidden reason the over-apologizing habit is so hard to break, and the permission you need to finally let it go.A specific language shift you can use the next time you return to work after time off, moving from apology to orientation so you come back sounding like a leader in command of what happens next.Your Action StepThe next time you return to work after time away, even a single day, notice the urge to apologize before you act on it. Catch one message you were about to open with “sorry” and rewrite it to open with your focus instead. One message. One shift. Then notice how differently you feel hitting send.AI Prompt (Copy-Paste Ready)Use this prompt to prepare for your first day back from time away. Paste it into your preferred AI assistant and answer the questions as they come.I'm a [role] in [industry]. I am returning to work after [time away, for example a holiday weekend or a vacation], and I have messages and conversations waiting for me. Help me come back sounding like a leader, not someone apologizing for having been gone.Ask me 3 questions:What am I actually walking back into, and what is waiting that needs my attention first?What am I tempted to apologize for, and is an apology genuinely warranted or just a habit?What do I want the people I work with to understand about my focus now that I am back?Then write:Two or three opening lines I can use on my first day back that communicate from a place of ownership and direction rather than apology.Constraints:Use a forward-facing toneNo apologetic language, no “sorry,” no framing my time away as an inconvenience to othersEach line should orient the reader to what I am prioritizing now that I am backMust sound like a leader managing a transition, not someone making up for lost timeAvoid softening language like “just,” “a little,” “finally,” or “I know I have been gone”The lines should feel grounded and self-assured when read out loudExample (output style)“I'm back and getting oriented. Here is what I am prioritizing first, and I will follow up on everything else by the end of the week.”Ready to Go Deeper?If you are ready to stop navigating your leadership growth alone, or you want help thinking through your specific situation, book a complimentary Leadership Strategy Call with Kele.

Today we're talking through the process of getting one of my gym gals back into training, after having a few months off

Taking time off from your business should not mean cramming your calendar before you leave, checking emails from the dock, and coming back to complete chaos. In this episode, I dive into what it actually means to take time off from your interior design business without mentally carrying it with you the entire time. This is a conversation about boundaries, leadership, communication, and building a business that can function without constant access to you. I share the three ways designers often punish themselves around vacation: overloading the days before they leave, staying half available while they're away, and coming back to a packed reentry that erases the rest they just had. If you've ever felt guilty for taking time off, worried that clients will think you don't care, or found yourself answering emails even after setting an out-of-office reply, this episode will help you rethink what sustainable business ownership can look like. You'll walk away with practical questions to ask before your next vacation, permission to create clearer boundaries, and a reminder that a calm business creates a better client experience.     This episode is sponsored by Programa.

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.

What Country will now allow you time off if your pet is sick?

One of the biggest reasons people start a business is freedom - and yet so many of us feel less free than ever. Guilty about resting. Scared to step away. Convinced everything will fall apart if we're not there. And here's something that might be uncomfortable to hear: when we refuse to take time off, avoid delegating, or feel like everything depends on us, it can actually become a form of self-sabotage. Because if your business only works when you're constantly present, it will eventually cap your energy, your growth, and your income. In this week's Chill & Prosper episode, I'm talking about how to take time off from your business without losing money, momentum, or your mind.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Pamela Kyel, author of the book On a Break in Charm City. Award-winning author Pamela Kyel was born and raised in Edgewood, Maryland—north of Charm City. It's kind of a running joke that when you live near a large, well-known city, you tell people that's where you're from. So, unofficially, she's from Baltimore!   She followed the drum of the Air Force for 25 years. She joined her husband on six assignments—OCONUS (Outside Continental United States), aka overseas, and CONUS (Continental United States). Along the way, they added two children and numerous pets, not counting the half-a-dozen cats that came with their house in Italy. She has traveled extensively across the states and Europe, with her favorite overseas locations being Paris and Slovenia, among stateside favorites such as Rocky Mountain National Park and Door County, Wisconsin.   Family is important to her, and nowhere is that more evident than in her Charm City Mystery Series. When you've lived across the world from mothers and brothers, you adapt and overcome. You create family—and they stay with you long after the career ends. Her military family resides in Virginia, Texas, and North and South Carolina—with many still on active duty worldwide.   Writing came out of their duty station in Illinois. She picked up her computer while sitting with her elementary-age child through covid classes and thought, I can write a book. And the rest is history. While her original novel will never see the light of day, she grew and expanded her confidence in what she was doing. She was good at this, and she would have something to show for it one day. In a little over three years, she'd trod the agent querying circuit and amended her goal. Now, she just needed to hold her book in her hand. It was necessary. With that in mind, she sent out three queries to small publishers, and for her, the third time was the charm. The Wild Rose Press picked up her book and offered a contract. Less than a year later, she now held all those years of hard work in her hand.    In my book review, I stated On a Break in Charm City is a cozy mystery by ​Pamela Kyel.​ This is the third in her Charm City Mystery series, and once again, Pamela does not disappoint! I love this cast of characters including Laci Duval, an investigator with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. However, she is forced to take a vacation. But if you know Laci, you know she doesn't do relaxation. Instead, she finds looking for a missing person who just happens to be NSA.   Laci is funny, clutzy, a bit socially awkward, and thinks of everyone as a type of iced tea. In this installment, we continue her journey with potential love interest, Antonio, and keep up with her best friends Sammie and Cassy, as well as Rev and, new to this series, his brother Lum.   If you like a good mystery, with twists and turns, break-ins, fires, kidnapping, computer programming, surveillance cameras, trackers, and even Russians, then this is the cozy for you!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Pamela Kyel Website: https://pamelakyel.com/ FB: @Pamela Kyle Author IG: @pamelakyel TikTok: @pamelakyel LinkedIn: @Pamela Kyel   Purchase On a Break in Charm City on Amazon: Paperback: Ebook: https://amzn.to/4cNRwbp​   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton break down a frustrating reality many first responders experience: taking time off, getting rest, even going on vacation—yet still feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or mentally drained (Amazon Affiliate) when returning to work. This episode explores why burnout isn't just about needing a break. It's about deeper nervous system depletion, emotional overload, and unresolved stress that time off alone can't repair.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something a lot of therapists are too burned out to even name: what happens when the practice you built for freedom starts feeling like the thing you need a vacation from. We get into why you might be counting down to cancellations, why your caseload has become the biggest rock in your life, and what it actually looks like to restructure things so your practice fits around your life instead of the other way around. If you started this work to have more freedom and somehow ended up with less, this one's for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
