Still thinking about work, even when you’re on vacation? You’re not alone — but it doesn’t have to be that way!

In this episode of The Art and Science of Thriving, we dive deep into how to truly unplug, reset, and come back from time off actually feeling restored — not just relieved.

Whether you're a high-performing professional, a leader, or someone who just can’t seem to switch off, this episode gives you a powerful, science-backed roadmap to make your time off actually count.

Why Listen:

If you’ve ever:

• Sat on a dock or beach but couldn’t stop thinking about your inbox,
• Returned from a break still feeling tense or tired,
• Wondered how to actually relax without guilt or distraction…

…then this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why vacations often fail to restore us — and what to do about it
✅ How your brain resists switching out of “work mode” — and how to retrain it
✅ Simple yet powerful rituals that signal your nervous system it’s safe to rest
✅ Five high-impact habits that make your time off more emotionally and physically restorative
✅ A step-by-step Vacation Entry Protocol to help you cross the threshold into deep rest

This isn’t about dropping everything and going off the grid (unless you want to). It’s about using neuroscience, sport psychology, and high-performance recovery strategies to flip the switch from doing to being.

You’ve earned your time off — now learn how to make it actually work for you.

Listen in and build the skill of rest — because thriving isn’t just about how hard you work… it’s also about how well you recover.
