If the idea of taking a real break from your business this summer sounds both dreamy and totally impossible, this episode is for you.
I’m joined by two dear friends (and podcast fan favorites!) Casey von Stein and Erin Baute, and we’re getting honest about what it actually takes to step away from your business for a season without losing momentum or sacrificing your mental health. Casey has nailed the art of the summer sabbatical, Erin’s experimenting to find her rhythm, and I’ve dabbled with it too, so I brought them both back to talk about what really works (and what doesn’t).
In this candid, heartfelt conversation, we cover:
✨ How Casey built a sustainable system that lets her take off June and July every year
✨ Why Erin’s first break didn’t quite work and what she’s doing differently now
✨ The mindset shifts and nervous system prep no one talks about (but everyone needs)
✨ Creative ways to keep your business visible even when you're not “on”
This isn’t about selling you another productivity hack. It’s about designing a business that actually supports your life, not the other way around. Whether you’re craving time off for maternity leave, travel, or just some peace and quiet, you’ll leave this episode with ideas, inspiration, and permission to do it your way.
