Over deze aflevering

You’d think a day spent lounging on the beach would be the ultimate recharge. No deadlines, no emails, just rest and relaxation. And yet, by the time you head home, you’re wiped out. Not just relaxed, completely drained. It's supposed to be restful, so why does it feel like you’ve just run a marathon in flip-flops? It’s not just the sun, it’s the heat, the humidity, and the work your body puts in to stay cool.
