How do you rest and recharge when the world feels chaotic? After an unexpectedly hectic December, the Bossed Up podcast is back with a look at what recharging really requires—and it’s not quitting everything or carrying on as usual. I’ve come to realize that the sweet spot, at least for me, is somewhere in the middle.
This episode breaks down the balance I’m seeking to find this year, and I’d love to hear how it compares to your approach to the New Year. Between seriously scary news cycles and never-ending schedules, it’s all too easy to overlook gratitude in lieu of existential dread and getting everything done. Consider this your invitation to take a beat, drop a ball (or two), and approach 2026 with a healthy dose of self-compassion.
Join me in recalibrating for 2026 so we can recharge for real:
- How we can strike a balance between pushing forward and being present;
- The role gratitude plays in staying realistic about the future;
- When and where to decenter social media and lean into the analog;
- A reminder to give your personal calendar a bit of love.
