A few weeks ago, Megan Moroney was on The Bobby Bones Show. She’s an emerging country music star touring with Kenny Chesney.

Lisa and I admit we had to learn this skill. In my 20s, 30s, and 40s, it was almost impossible to step away and recharge. Not because I felt indispensable, but because I was in full-chase mode.

It started with a voicemail from a client. His message said, “I’ve got a situation – a problem. I could use your advice. Call me back.” The problem? A relationship. A couple of relationships.
