Feeling like you just need a week off from your week? Sound familiar?
This episode starts with Nikki and Damaris comparing notes on a shared struggle: waiting for that magical stretch of downtime when everything finally settles down. The problem? That break keeps getting pushed further and further into the future.
They unpack what’s really underneath the feeling of burnout, from overscheduling and people-pleasing to the pressure of building careers, businesses, families, and creative lives all at the same time. Along the way, they ask some surprisingly helpful questions: Why am I so busy? What was I hoping that vacation would actually fix? And is there another way to get what I need right now?
From scheduling fun on purpose to creating tiny moments of joy during overwhelming weeks, Nikki and Damaris share the practical reset strategies they’re leaning on when life feels especially full.
You’ll hear ideas for breaking out of a funk, making space for creativity, lowering the pressure on yourself, and finding small ways to recharge—even when a month-long vacation isn’t in the cards.
