Minisode: It's OK to Take Breaks as a Business Owner // Back from Vacation

"Hey Jessica, Why did the podcast episodes stop with no warning?!" Well, it wasn't intentional. My vacation was intentional, but the break in podcast episodes wasn't. Now I'm back and so excited to be recording again. (If you want to hear and see more about my vacation, you can watch the replay from my Instagram Live either on YouTube or on Instagram.) In this catch-up minisode, I talk about why it's ok (and actually very important) for us to take breaks. As business owners, it can be so easy to dive headfirst into hustle culture, thinking that we have to work nonstop in order to "get ahead" or "be successful." But, really, it's extremely unhealthy for us as humans, for our relationships with others (including our family), and for our business; which is why I've been working this year to slow down in my business. Yes, my husband laughs at me every time I say I'm "working to work less," but it's so true! It takes conscious intentionality... and a lot of boundaries, especially with myself. If any of this resonates with you, this episode is a must-listen! I'm talking about why and how I'm slowing down in my business... as well as the hardest part of it all so far!Join the Pattern Design Circle today: snickerdoodleknits.com/design-circleSend a Fan Mail Message!If you've found this episode helpful or inspiring, feel free to support the podcast via Ko-fi 🌸3 ways I can help you right now:CoachingFree CommunityMembership Communities
