You deserve a holiday that doesn’t include your inbox
Ah, the holiday season — a time for joy, reflection, and connection.
And yet, beneath the glittering lights and festive cheer, there’s often a quiet pressure to stay tethered to work, even during these precious moments.
So I ask you:
Do you have the courage to disconnect from your agency over the holidays?
In an always-on world, the boundary between work and personal life has become paper-thin. Our devices keep us plugged in 24/7, making rest feel like something we have to earn. But it’s not just okay to reclaim your peace during this season — it’s essential.
Disconnecting takes courage …
Courage to prioritize your well-being.
To set boundaries that honour your humanity.
To claim time that isn’t dictated by client needs or team demands.
It’s a declaration — unapologetic and overdue — that your personal life holds more value than constant availability.
Let me share a story about why this matters.
Elf is a must-watch movie in my family. Netflix calls it a comedy, which makes my reaction seem a little dramatic — because every time I watch it, I quietly reach for the tissues while everyone else laughs.
But beneath the humour, the film reveals something profound: when we step away from the noise, we make space for what truly restores us.
Genuine connection.
Festive spirit (in whatever form you celebrate).
The rediscovery of what the holidays are actually about — love, belonging, and joy.
So why do I secretly cry?
Because the message is simple and striking: life outside of work is what matters most.
Choosing to disconnect doesn’t signal neglect, lack of ambition, or indifference to your business. It’s a conscious choice to nurture your spirit, protect your relationships, and lead a life that integrates work with well-being instead of competing with it.
And yes — that takes courage.
This holiday season, I invite you to dare to disconnect.
Give yourself the gift of uninterrupted time. Presence. Rest. Joy.
You may discover a sense of fulfillment that stays with you long after the season ends.
Wishing you peace, love, and the courage to embrace true disconnection.
