Why is taking a break so important?  What do our breaks look like?  Listen in and hear all about why we think being proactive about scheduling breaks is crucial, even if it's a break from something you truly enjoy.  We also chat about some specific breaks we are taking over the holidays and as always, what we are Loving This Week.
