Why You Need More Than a Weekend to Reset

In this Live Full Work Fun episode, Gayla and Fran talk about essential practice of truly disconnecting from work to recharge and reset. They share personal experiences about taking intentional breaks—from weekend getaways to extended sabbaticals—and how these periods of disconnection have transformed their perspectives, improved their health, and reignited their creativity.

This conversation is a wake-up call for busy entrepreneurs who constantly find themselves in "do mode" and need permission to step away and prioritize themselves.
