This week on the Money Talk podcast, I had an incredible conversation with Jillian Johnsrud all about mini-retirements. What they are, how they work, and why taking them often might just be the key to a better life and even a better career. Jillian has taken over a dozen mini-retirements herself, and her wisdom around this topic really opened my eyes. We talk about everything from defining what a mini-retirement really is (hint: it's not just a vacation!) to how you can use one to get a raise, build better habits, or finally pursue something meaningful. Whether you're between jobs, burned out, or just craving a reset, this episode is packed with practical ideas and inspiring stories to help you rethink your work-life balance. Honestly, I realized during the recording that I’m on a mini-retirement myself right now!
