If you're the kind of leader who is "on" all the time — even on vacation — this episode is for you.

In today's lesson, Sophia Matveeva shares a practical, honest approach to taking time off without pretending you'll fully unplug.

Because when you're in charge, not checking work emails is often a pipe dream.
