Ep 65: Don't forget to live life along the way
We all want to have a life on our own terms, but that doesn't mean you need to be working 24/7 or never unplug. Rest and reset, it's just as important as work. Human connection, nature and remembering why you are on this journey to personal freedom. This week I'm chatting about the importance of it all, but especially the importance of unplugging.

Ep 47: Scheduling rest is essential
This week I am focusing on how to rest. Getting rest is essential. We have to celebrate rest. Rest is just as important as working hard, if not more. Rest allows us to create great work without destroying ourselves in the process. I've had a lot of problems with getting rest in my past. I used to stay up and work late into the night so much that I was actually hurting my ability to do good work. How do you prioritize rest?
