106. How SLOWING DOWN serves you, your business & your community

06/29/23 • 21 min

At the end of 2022, we decided to take a 2 week break! We made this decision because we KNEW we were getting close to burn out and really needed some time to step away from our responsibilities & rebalance ourselves! During 2023, we plan to take that same 2 week break at the end of the year! However, we've also decided to add in a 1 week break from besties & business during July!
Next week, our break begins! We will be coming out with 1 episode next week on Wednesday, July 5th, because it is our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF LAUNCHING THE BESTIES & BUSINESS PODCAST!!!
In this episode, we chat a ton about why we made this decision to take a 1 week break & why we feel SO called to it. We bring you in deeply on WHY we feel so strongly about ALL of us investing in ourselves by taking breaks.
Slowing down helps you realign. Slowing down helps your body & mind recalibrate. Slowing down gives you a clearer vision & more positive thought patterns! Slowing down can help YOU. It can help your BUSINESS. & It can help your COMMUNITY.
Press play to hear our thoughts! We hope this episode gives you the permission you might feel you need right now to slow down. You DESERVE to take breaks, bestie.
