Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is to take the break you need.

Work, family, and life maintenance tasks may feel unrelenting right now,

after almost no variation in the last five months.

this may not be the summer for that epic tropical vacation

that would let you fully relax. So what do you do when you feel like you could
