S2 EP50: How to Actually Switch Off This Christmas (And Why Your Business Depends On It)

Your best work in 2026 starts with how well you rest this Christmas. In this episode, I'm sharing four practical strategies to help you genuinely switch off over the festive period, and why protecting your rest is one of the smartest business decisions you can make.

Rest isn't the opposite of ambition. It's what fuels it. Your capacity for brilliant work depends entirely on your capacity for genuine recovery. But switching off doesn't happen by accident, it requires the same intentional planning.

This is about building rest into your business strategy, treating recovery as the foundation for your next level of growth. Whether you're taking a week or even two, these strategies will help you return in January refreshed, focused, and ready to create your best work yet.
