This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who feels conflicted when asked: do you need a vacation, or an escape?
There’s a difference between running away from your life and taking a break to recharge. In this episode, I share how I’ve confused the two in the past, what it signaled about the way I was working, and the mindset shift that helped me build a life I don’t want to run from.
Tune in to reflect on what a meaningful break looks like for you, and how small daily choices can build a life you truly love.
