About this episode

It will save your life…Unlock the secrets to a longer life with Dr. Marianne Trent. Shockingly, 50% of employed adults in the UK don't utilise their annual leave, with 42% experiencing work-related stress during holidays and 46% still working while off-duty.


Dive into the psychological effects of skipping annual breaks and discover how setting boundaries, avoiding burnout, and unplugging can contribute to a longer, healthier life.


In a recent survey, 79% agreed that taking a break is beneficial for mental health. Join us in emphasising the importance of taking holidays seriously – because your well-being deserves priority.


Special thanks to British Airways Holidays for partnering with us on this bonus episode, they are encouraging everyone to prioritise their well-being by taking their holidays seriously. Search ba.com/holidays for more.
