    40. Cultivating The Fruits of Our Labor: Lessons from a Retreat to Spain
    Jul 9 2024
    Taking a 10-day trip to Spain taught us how truly difficult it can be to let go and relax, even in the most beautiful settings. The guilt of stepping away from our busy lives tugged at us, but it was a powerful reminder of the importance of taking time off to recharge. In this episode, we share the lessons learned from this much-needed break, why surrounding ourselves with positive influences is essential, and the continuous journey of self-investment that shapes both our personal and professional lives.

    Comparison can be a sneaky thief of joy, especially when running a business. We open up about how seeking validation from others impacted our faith and self-worth, and the steps we took to combat these feelings. From taking social media breaks to fostering gratitude, we discuss how to nurture a genuine love for our work and our personal lives. Finally, we draw beautiful parallels between cultivating fruit trees and nurturing a marriage, emphasizing the importance of mutual support and the ongoing journey of growth and adaptation that defines a strong and thriving relationship.
