  • 62. The Unplugged Entrepreneur: How Taking Real Time Off Leads to Bigger Results
    May 6 2025

    Feel like you're never fully "off" from work? This episode tackles the challenge that so many entrepreneurs face—the inability to truly disconnect from your business, even during designated downtime.

    If you find yourself constantly thinking about work during evenings and weekends, checking emails on vacation, or unable to enjoy time off because of nagging business thoughts, this episode is your practical guide to breaking free.

    I'm sharing the exact strategies I've used (and taught my clients) to create real mental space away from work—because the quality of your unplugged time directly impacts how powerfully you show up when you're back on. You'll learn why time away isn't just a nice-to-have, but essential for your business growth and personal wellbeing.

    Click play to learn:

    • Why closing your laptop isn't enough for real mental recovery (and what to do instead)
    • The science behind "psychological detachment" and how it impacts your productivity, creativity, and wellbeing
    • The direct connection between time off and increased revenue in your business
    • A simple system to handle work-related thoughts that interrupt your downtime
    • Actionable strategies to build your "unplugging muscle" and enjoy guilt-free time away
