do this before you unplug for the holidays 

Are you ready to rest? This season is the perfect time to guard some time to slow down even if just for a few days.  

This month I reminded my clients who are a part of She Builds Collective (you can learn all about it here and apply for our next cohort starting in January!) to set up their autoreply email, so they can turn their work brains off and step away from their laptops and not respond to any emails. 

Communicating this boundary is more for you than for anyone else. 

When we communicate our unavailability clearly, we give ourselves permission to not check email or feel the need to respond promptly. 

I chose the dates for my out-of-office email to be active from December 23rd through January 9th.  

Here’s a peek at my out-of-office email. 

Feel free to copy and paste and make it your own! I also share an example on page 116 of my book, She Builds. 

Subject: I’m unplugging…

Hello, 

I'm unplugged for the winter break with my family, so I can nourish myself, and show up fully recharged in the new year. 

I'll respond to priority emails on January 10th or later. If this is not urgent, please follow up and resend your email after that date.

Of course, if you're a close family member, a friend, or a part of my dream team, you know the best way to reach me with burning questions + love notes.

If you're a client and need immediate support, please reach out to my amazing right hand, Michele at hello@jadahsellner.com.

In the meantime, enjoy a recent Lead with Love® Podcast episode and grab or gift a copy of my book, She Builds: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life. 

Here's to making dreams come true without distractions!

Warm hugs,
Jadah

Let me know if you decide to set up an autoreply email, so you can fully unplug! 

I hope you have a beautiful, restful holiday no matter what season of life you’re in. This time of year can be tender, filled with grief, unexpected changes, and big feelings. Be kind to yourself and those around you. 

Sending you lots of love!

Warm hugs
