Ep 99: Why You Don’t Need To Go Back On Holidays - You Just Need a 2026 Shake Up.)
Season 3 · Ep 99
About this episode
If I had a dollar every time I heard “I wish I was still on holidays” or “I should’ve taken an extra week off” last week… I’d have a lot of dollars!
But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:
Most people don’t actually need another holiday — they need a shake up.
In this episode, I unpack why January feels so hard for so many people, why holidays never feel long enough, and why coming back to work can feel like an instant drag — even when nothing is technically “wrong.”
Spoiler alert: it’s not because you’re lazy, ungrateful, or broken.
I share the two real reasons people wish they were still on holidays — and what to do instead of jumping back on Trivago and hoping next year will feel different.
In this episode, we cover:
Why holidays give temporary relief — but not lasting energy
The difference between resting and actually resetting
Why returning to the same life you needed a break from will always feel heavy
How tolerating things (at work and in life) quietly drains your energy
Why motivation doesn’t come first — momentum does
The 5 practical ways to shake up your 2026 so you don’t need to escape from it
This episode isn’t about toxic positivity or “just be grateful you have a job” nonsense.
It’s about taking ownership, redesigning how you show up, and creating a life — and a work week — you don’t need a holiday from.
If you’ve come back from the break already counting down to your next one… this one’s for you.
