Meetings Without Breaks? How to Cope and Reclaim Your Time

Why are meetings always back-to-back? In this episode, we explore how constant demands on your time—without space to reset—lead to overwhelm, frustration, and decreased performance. Discover why this happens, how it affects you, and what you can do to gently rebel against the culture of non-stop appointments.

Plus, I share tips for creating space in your day and how a simple one-minute reset can help you regain clarity and energy between meetings. Reclaim your headspace and find a better way to work.
