Ep2 with Gigi Howard, Librarian and Host of Drinks in the Library. Gigi Howard is a librarian by day, podcast host by night, and a full-time lover of books, beverages, and great conversation. With over 14 years in public libraries and a decade leading a lively library team in the Richmond, Virginia area, she knows her way around a good story, and a great conversation. She’s the host of Drinks in the Library, the podcast where each week a guest brings their favorite book, Gigi brings the perfect drink pairing, and together they sip, chat, and vibe together about the stories that stick with us. She’s also a BookPage reviewer, a proud member of the Virginia Library Association, a mom, a wife, a local community cheerleader, gym-goer, and a wine enthusiast. Basically, if it involves libraries, stories, community, or drinks, Gigi is here for it.

In a world where everything’s always "go, go, go," leaders and multi-taskers often forget the power of self-care, pausing, and recharging. But here's the thing—taking time to reset isn’t just a luxury; it’s a game-changer. In the hustle to stay on top, wellness isn’t optional; it’s a leadership strategy. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, or juggling multiple roles, staying sharp means knowing when to hit pause and recharge. Prioritizing mental, emotional, and physical wellness isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about performing at your best for the long haul. So, make room for those breaks. Recharge, reflect, and come back even stronger. Your energy, clarity, and effectiveness will thank you.
