Intentional Futures

What two things sound like opposites, but go together perfectly? Rest and celebration! On Christmas Day, all of iF will be on Wellness Week - an annual paid week off to enjoy time with family and friends and celebrate holidays. We're looking forward to some rest and relaxing, but also, seeing loved ones, celebrating holidays, traveling, and eating delicious food. As such, we won't be posting again until 2025 so everyone at iF can have a true break. Happy holiday from Intentional Futures! #worklifebalance #shutdownweek #wellness
