Ever feel like you’re drowning in responsibilities, staring at your life and wondering, “Is this it?”
If you’ve hit a point in midlife where you’re exhausted, disconnected, or stuck on a loop of “just getting through the day,” this episode is for you.
In this deeply honest conversation, I share why taking a sabbatical - no matter how short or scrappy - might be exactly what your mind, body, and soul are crying out for.
This isn’t about quitting everything or escaping your life… it’s about reclaiming it.
You’ll learn:
- Why midlife is the perfect time for a strategic, soul-deep reset
- What a sabbatical really is (and what it’s not)
- The emotional and physical costs of never pausing
- How to overcome the “I can’t afford it” or “I don’t have time” objections
- Practical ideas to take your own mini (or mighty) sabbatical - starting now
If you’ve been feeling the nudge to step away and come home to yourself, this episode might just give you permission, and the plan to begin.
