We talk a lot about the importance of taking breaks — but how do you know when you’ve actually had one?
In this solo episode of Relationships at Work, host Russel Lolacher shares what happened when he took a real pause from creating, producing, and strategizing — not because he stopped caring, but because he cared too much to keep going unsustainably.
Through small grounding habits, reflection, and honest self-checks, Russel explores what it means to step away with intention — and how to return with clarity instead of clutter.
Because a true break isn’t just time away from work — it’s reconnection with who you are outside of it.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down or the guilt that comes with it, this episode is your reminder that rest is leadership.
