Dr Thomas Smithyman Podcast

If you're a hard-worker who's feeling the grind, this episode is for you. As a psychologist, I've delved into both the research and real-world cases to uncover the truth about the necessity of vacations and the fears that keep us from taking them.
Think you can power through without ever taking a break? The truth might surprise you. Skipping the downtime doesn’t just affect your performance; it could be sabotaging your life.
