Part of the August 2026 Refresh Series.

Most bucket lists don't make it to 100 items. That's exactly the point of this exercise.

In this episode, Maya walks through the list of 100 dreams - an exercise she came across via Laura Vanderkam, originally from career coach Carolina Ceniza-Levine - and shares how she went about it herself. The idea is simple: an unedited list of anything you might want to do or have more of in your life - a powerful exercise for a number of reasons.

What you'll learn:

• How to actually do the exercise - including what to do when you run out of ideas

• How the list becomes a useful reference point for goal setting and making the most of your leisure time

Part of the August 2026 Refresh Series.

What's your default strategy when you're feeling burnt out or depleted? A sunny trip away? Nothing wrong with that - but there are other, perhaps more powerful, ways to recharge too.

In this episode, Maya breaks down her own version of the seven types of rest, drawing on years of coaching conversations to explore why switching off looks different for everyone - and why going from near-burnout to a beach doesn't always solve the problem.

What you'll learn:

• The seven types of rest - and a simple way to identify which ones you're missing

• The difference between rejuvenation and refresh - and why relying on a change of scene alone often isn't enough
