Have you ever found yourself speeding through life, only to be stopped in your tracks by a sudden cold or flu? That's exactly what happened to me, and it was a not-so-gentle reminder that sometimes, we need to pause and breathe rather than just sing at the top of our lungs. This week's episode of Far Too Fabulous is inspired by a beautiful story from Jay Shetty about a choir's harmonious performance, serving as a metaphor for achieving balance in our hectic lives. We dive into why it's crucial to intersperse moments of rest with our busy routines, especially now as the holiday chaos approaches.

Feeling "high functioning sick" is a reality that many of us, especially women juggling multiple roles, face every day. We unpack this concept by comparing it to being a "high functioning alcoholic"—seemingly fine on the outside but battling significant health issues beneath the surface. Through personal anecdotes and observations from our own family histories, we highlight the importance of genuine downtime and social connections. It's all about finding those precious moments of rest amid the madness of our schedules, and we hope our stories inspire you to do the same.

Shifting gears, we explore how the brain's capacity for deep thinking impacts our professional lives. By balancing intense mental tasks with creative breaks—like a beach walk or even a favorite song—we can enhance productivity and stave off burnout. We also touch on how these insights can help cultivate creativity in children, reminding us of the joy and importance of creativity.
