Out of the Office, Into the Mood: How to Save Your Holidays for Pleasure
Let’s have an honest conversation about something that affects so many of us, especially during the holiday season. You know that moment – you’re finally settled in for some well-deserved personal time, perhaps with a warm drink and your favorite book, when your phone lights up with that all-too-familiar “urgent” work message.
The statistics tell a story we know all too well. According to recent studies, women are experiencing workplace burnout at alarmingly higher rates – 44% compared to 36% of male colleagues (Fortune, 2024). Even more concerning, women accounted for 71% of all mental health-related leaves in early 2024 (SHRM, 2024). This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about our collective wellbeing and right to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
We know it can be intimidating to tell your boss “no” – trust us, we’ve been there. But here’s something crucial to remember: setting boundaries isn’t just good for you; it’s protected by law. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act and various state labor laws, you have the right to disconnect outside of working hours. Many women fear that setting boundaries might harm their career prospects, but let’s flip that narrative: clear boundaries often lead to increased productivity, better work quality, and improved professional relationships.
This is exactly why we’ve created our upcoming workshop:
📅 Date: Saturday, December 16th ⏰ Time:
10:00 – 10:40 AM MST
12:00 – 12:40 PM EST
9:00 – 9:40 AM PST
5:00 – 5:40 PM GMT 📍 Location: Virtual via Zoom
During this power-packed 40-minute session, we’ll dive straight into the most crucial strategies and tools you need. We’ve designed this workshop to respect your time while delivering maximum value – because we practice what we preach when it comes to time management!
We’ll provide you with practical, actionable tools you can implement immediately. Here’s a preview of what we’ll cover:
The “Time-Block Template”: We’ll share our proven email template that professionally communicates your availability while maintaining strong working relationships. For example: “Thank you for your email. I’ve implemented focused work blocks to maintain high productivity levels. I’ll be reviewing and responding to emails during my designated communication times at 10 AM and 3 PM. For urgent matters requiring immediate attention, please call my office line.”
Digital Boundary Setting:
- How to use “Do Not Disturb” settings strategically
- Setting up auto-responders that maintain professionalism while protecting your time
- Creating email signatures that clearly state your working hours
Legal Protections & Rights:
- Understanding your rights under workplace laws
- How to document boundary violations appropriately
- When and how to involve HR constructively
Scripted Responses for Common Scenarios:
- We’ll provide you with word-for-word scripts for handling:
- Last-minute meeting requests
- After-hours work communications
- Holiday time-off pressures
The impact of chronic workplace stress isn’t just mental – it’s physical. Studies show that 77% of workers report work-related stress (APA, 2023), with women experiencing higher rates of stress-related health issues, including:
- Disrupted sleep patterns
- Increased risk of cardiovascular problems
- Higher levels of anxiety and depression
- Compromised immune system function
But here’s the empowering part: Research shows that women who successfully implement workplace boundaries report:
- 58% higher job satisfaction
- Reduction in stress levels
- Improvement in overall life satisfaction
- Better sleep quality
This workshop isn’t just about saying “no” – it’s about saying “yes” to your wellbeing, your personal time, and your right to pleasure and joy outside of work. We’ll show you how to maintain your professional excellence while protecting your personal time and energy.

Eden Unbound is inspired by a provocative question: What if Eve ate the apple and, instead of chaos, everything went right?
Imagine a world where pleasure is at the heart of life, where women’s sensuality is celebrated and respected.
This event, QUIVR's vision brought to life, offers a re-imagined Garden of Eden—a space where art, pleasure, and empowerment meet in harmony.
This unique experience is a marriage of art, pleasure, and education. QUIVR’s Eden Unbound isn’t just an event; it’s an invitation to explore sensuality, expression, and community in a space designed to celebrate every facet of femininity.
Eden Unbound will feature a series of immersive experiences that engage the senses and celebrate self-expression. The evening will include:
Self-Body Painting Workshop: Attendees are invited to explore their own body’s contours and celebrate their forms through self-guided body mapping, an activity designed to deepen self-awareness and body confidence.
Sensual Movement Session: Led by a skilled instructor, this dance workshop encourages participants to embrace movement as a powerful form of self-expression, helping them reconnect with their bodies in a joyful and uninhibited way.
Paint & Sip with a Nude Model: Combining art with playfulness, this activity allows guests to create art with a live model, honoring the beauty of the human form while indulging in a relaxed, creative environment.
