Welcome to Take What You Need, the podcast. This podcast is named after my first book, and many years on we’re continuing the journey of designing life on our own terms. Think of this as a weekly catch-up between me and you, where we talk about EVERYTHING. From the mindset shifts that make us better versions of ourselves, to discussing how the media, and marketing, play an even bigger role in the story of our lives than we might think. Each week, I delve into questions that you, the listeners, have asked and share my take on the topics that matter most to you. Let's get started

S2 E3 | “How do you navigate burnout and the need to always perform ?”

“If I don’t keep going, everything's going to fall apart"

“If I don’t take this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come”

There’s definitely value in seizing the day, but what happens when you become stuck in a cycle of constantly working? What happens when you’re exhausted in a way that sleep cannot repair? Is it really a good life if you’re constantly counting down until your next holiday to exhale?

In this week’s episode, I answer the question “How do you navigate burnout and the need to always perform?”. The short answer? The life-changing practice of the Sabbath

As we prep for 2023, it’s only right that we’re in a season of hibernation — extended sabbath if you will. Now is the ideal time to integrate true sabbath into your daily life.
