Episode 2782:
Emma Scheib gently reminds us that while parenting may be the hardest, and often most rewarding, job in the world, it's one that desperately needs regular rest. She encourages parents to take intentional breaks, both big and small, to recharge and reconnect with themselves. Through her reflections on sabbaticals and learning presence from her children, she shows that slowing down, saying yes to the moment, and stepping away at times can actually make us better caregivers and more grounded human beings.

Quotes to ponder:
"We need regular breaks, from the hardest job in the world."
"The best part was that I got to be 'just me' for three days. I wasn't 'mummy', I was just me."
"My children are teaching me how to be present."
