About this episode
This bonus episode is brought to you in collaboration with British Airways Holidays who are on a mission to make all of us take our holidays a little more seriously! I’m joined again by Dr Claire Kambamettu and we dive into our complicated relationship with rest, and the importance of setting firm boundaries when on holiday. We discuss the anxiety we feel around taking time off, the guilt we feel around having to be productive every minute of every day, and how holidays can be the perfect way to get that bigger rest, to complement our daily micro rest requirements. British Airways Holidays encourages everyone to prioritise their well-being by taking their holidays seriously. Alongside competitive pricing, their offerings include a 24-hour  helpline, carefully selected hotels, ATOL protection, and a generous 23kg per person baggage allowance. Moreover, you can secure your holiday from a £60 per person deposit, so customers can relax, rejuvenate, and switch off.
