Always reachable, always responsive—at what cost?
In this episode, Dave Flenagan and Zoe Hirsch explore Dr. Stef Huber’s article on why conscious unavailability has become a modern luxury, and how setting boundaries in a 24/7 world can lead to greater clarity, calm, and focus.
Dr. Huber outlines seven dimensions of unavailability, from delaying responses and limiting communication channels to protecting downtime and prioritizing personal space. She emphasizes that these aren’t acts of resistance—but strategies for healthier, more sustainable work and life rhythms.
The article also addresses leadership, calling on managers to model these boundaries themselves and foster cultures that respect focus, recovery, and individuality.
Dave and Zoe discuss how unavailability can be a form of self-respect—and even leadership.
