In this episode I talk about why taking a real break—from work, home life, or both—isn’t just a luxury but a wellness essential. From the science-backed benefits of vacationing to the small messy moments we all have (like laundry mishaps), I open up about my own solo mini-retreat experience at a wellness resort near LA. From sound baths and Vinyasa yoga in a dome to one of the best deep tissue massages I’ve ever had (plus a solo dinner date with striped bass and red wine), I share what I did, what I wish I’d done differently (hello, digital detox), and how you can create your own version of a wellness getaway. Expect reflections on mindfulness, burnout, creativity, and self-care, plus practical ideas on how to structure your own solo or small-group getaway—even if you're not a planner.
I also answer listener Q&As about dating advice and meditation classes, and wrap up with a special giveaway announcement.
