In this Live Full Work Fun episode, Gayla and Fran talk about essential practice of truly disconnecting from work to recharge and reset. They share personal experiences about taking intentional breaks—from weekend getaways to extended sabbaticals—and how these periods of disconnection have transformed their perspectives, improved their health, and reignited their creativity.

This conversation is a wake-up call for busy entrepreneurs who constantly find themselves in "do mode" and need permission to step away and prioritize themselves.

• The Power of True Disconnection: Why simply stepping away isn't enough—you need to fully disconnect from email, social media, and work responsibilities to truly recharge
• From Weekend Breaks to Sabbaticals: How different lengths of disconnection serve different purposes, and why you need at least a week to shift out of work mode and into creative thinking
• Setting Boundaries: Practical strategies for communicating your time off and setting up systems so your business can handle your absence
• The Fog Lifting Moment: How disconnecting clears the mental fog and provides clarity on your true priorities and what you should say yes or no to
• Planning Your Next Break: Why you should schedule your next break while you're still on vacation, and how to make non-negotiable time for yourself on your calendar
