In this episode of The Manager Matt Podcast Show, we’re unpacking how to take a real break from work — the kind where you actually switch off, not sneak glances at your inbox between beach walks.

You'll learn:
 ✅ Why taking a holiday isn’t weakness — it’s smart leadership
 ✅ How to prepare your team so things don’t fall apart while you're gone
 ✅ Whether to stay lightly connected (or go full digital detox)
 ✅ How to return to work with clarity — not chaos

If you’ve ever felt guilty about switching off or struggled to get back into gear post-holiday, this one’s for you. Let’s turn your next break into a boost for both you and your team.

🎧 Tune in and take the first step toward better boundaries, smarter prep, and a healthier work-life rhythm.
 Now… when was the last time you booked a real break?
