What if the secret to making more progress in your training, business, and life… was stepping away from all of it?

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the biggest takeaways from my recent 5-week trip to Costa Rica — from how rest actually fuels momentum, to what happens when you finally disconnect from phones, work, and the pressure to always be “productive.”

You’ll learn how time off can reset your nervous system, reignite creativity, and even improve performance — plus how to return to your workouts and habits without guilt or overwhelm.

Whether you’re burned out, feeling stuck, or just overdue for a breather, this episode is your permission slip (and tactical guide) to recover like a high performer.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

Why stepping back doesn’t mean losing progress
The surprising mental and physical benefits of true rest
How to know when it’s time to unplug
What happened to my energy, workouts, and focus after 5 weeks off
How to ease back into training and habits without losing momentum
The difference between passive rest and active recovery
A personal challenge to help you recharge (even without leaving the country)
