## Resource

In this episode we dive into the topic of taking breaks, exploring the 'whens,' 'whys,' and 'hows' of stepping away from work. Joined by returning guests Anna Gibbs, Michael Fox, and Brandy Salmon, we discuss various perspectives on breaks, including the importance of planning downtime, financial and tax considerations, and personal strategies for recognising when it's time to pause. From mental and physical self-care to the impact of breaks on creativity and productivity, this episode highlights how artists balance their professional commitments with the need to recharge. We also explore practical advice on transitioning back to work post-break and the evolving landscape of the art world.
