Episode 23: Soft Takes on Taking Breaks
Anti-Inflammatory Rhetoric
Taking breaks, such a favorite topic of mine, and also one of the hardest things for me to do. So it's well deserving of some soft takes. It can grant perspective, it respects your energy, and it's great practice if you're self-care challenged. Also, two bits of news! One: I'm taking a short break from future episodes, and will be back to recording in a couple weeks. Two: I'd love to hear what soft takes you'd like to hear, so send me an email, letter, or message in your favorite format if you have a soft take you'd like me to take on. Thanks for listening!
