Why the weekly Sabbath is the foundation of my wellbeing (and how you can benefit too)

Welcome to episode 100 of this podcast!

On this milestone episode, it felt right to share the absolute bedrock of my wellbeing: the weekly Jewish Sabbath.

I lift the lid on what the Sabbath means to me - and how you can create your own sanctuary in time (you don't need to be Jewish to have a regular day of rest!).

In our unpredictable, chaotic, stressful, tech-filled world, a weekly respite is more important than ever. Too much choice is leaving us feeling paralysed, distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, unfocused and unable to prioritise. The antidote is simple and available to everyone.

You'll learn:

  • How limiting our choices for one day a week not only reduces our stress but also increases our clarity and productivity.
  • Why we need a predictable rhythm in order to thrive, with firm boundaries and respite baked into our week.
  • The importance of creating regular rituals that foster close connection with your loved ones.


I'd love to know if this episode inspires you to instigate your own day of rest.
