Hey mom, we are back with the first momtrepreneur coffee chat of 2022. This is place to throw your hair up into a ponytail, throw on your favorite mom t-shirt, grab your favorite mug, and let’s talk about taking time to unplug and take a break.

After taking time off from the blog, I had pre-written content and pre-recorded shows. So I could really take a step back and take a break. When I started my time off, I had really big plans (watch the video to find out what they were). I do not lack ambition that is for sure.
The week of Christmas, I took off from all my clients. This would actually give me time off. One thing I know about myself is that I will run myself into the ground before I stop. But the bottom line, I was really tired and I needed to take a break. My husband finally told me it was ok.
Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

What We did to Take a Break
Instead of all my plans for the time off. We went ice skating in the park, which was totally hilarious. The ice was horrible, but it was a lot of fun. I read a lot of books. For the most part they were all dessert books. Pile on those chocolate cake books. Nothing of intellectual value….almost I did start one book that was intellectually stimulating.
Mom, we have to take a break at some point and we need to give ourselves permission to take them. Otherwise we will burn out. I didn’t realize how tired I was until I stopped.
Watch video or listen to the podcast (these chats will now be on the podcast) to hear my big plans for this year and how it is done without committing to long term goals.
