Dr. Jo Braid announces a two-week pause from podcast recording while travelling with family, demonstrating the four pillars of burnout recovery in action. She explains how this intentional break embodies connection by prioritizing deep family relationships, sleep through allowing her nervous system to truly rest, movement as joyful rather than obligatory, and mindset by releasing guilt around stepping away. Dr. Braid shares how the old version of herself would have felt guilty about this break, but now recognizes that taking intentional pauses isn't abandoning her mission of helping healthcare professionals - it's modelling sustainable well-being. She reminds listeners that recovery sometimes means putting down all the tools and simply being present with yourself and loved ones.

I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations. I pay my respects to Wiradjuri Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize the continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. This acknowledgment is a small but important step in recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations peoples and the deep historical and ongoing relationship with Country.
