EP14. How Taking Time Off Work Saved My Mental Health

Welcome to BUILT4US PODCAST! In this episode of the Built4Us Podcast, JT welcomes the newest member of our team, Ben Summers, to dive into the importance of prioritising mental health in a work-driven culture that often rewards burnout over balance. We explore why taking time off work isn’t a sign of weakness, but a necessary step toward long-term wellbeing. From mental exhaustion to physical burnout, this conversation highlights how constant pressure can take a serious toll if left unchecked. Our guest shares a recent personal experience of stepping away from work to reset — and how that decision led to noticeable improvements in both mental and physical health. We discuss the challenges of making that choice, the guilt many people feel around rest, and why recovery is essential for sustainable performance. This episode is a reminder that rest is productive, boundaries matter, and looking after yourself should always come before the grind.
