About this listen

After more than 200 podcast episodes, Rosie & Roula are hitting pause — without disappearing.

In Episode 216 of The Rosie and Roula Show, the hosts share why they’ve decided to take a three-week podcast break, how they’re handling it without guilt, and why rest is not a failure in a culture obsessed with productivity.

Instead of pushing through burnout, Rosie & Roula choose something radical: replays, boundaries, and recovery. Older episodes will be re-released (clearly marked as Replay) so listeners can revisit powerful conversations — or discover them for the first time.

The episode also opens a wider conversation about:

  • burnout culture
  • unrealistic work expectations
  • email pressure while on vacation
  • social media demands
  • why availability ≠ worth

This episode is a reminder that you are allowed to step back, especially when you’ve been showing up consistently.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why The Rosie and Roula Show is taking a short break
  • Releasing replay episodes without losing momentum
  • How burnout sneaks up on creators, parents & professionals
  • Why answering emails on vacation fuels modern burnout
  • Setting boundaries with work, social media & expectations
  • Choosing sustainability over hustle

Whether you’re a content creator, parent, entrepreneur, or employee — this episode gives permission to rest without explanation.

🎧 New episodes return in the new year. Until then: replay, recharge, and breathe.
