In today’s episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked power of taking leave—whether it’s for personal health, grief, or family. Leave isn’t just about stepping away from work; it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and heal.
In this conversation, we acknowledge the internal struggles that come with taking time for yourself—guilt, pressure, uncertainty—and why it’s essential to make space for self-compassion during life’s transitions. From personal stories of navigating grief and health challenges to actionable tools like the Leaves Quiz and Leaves Assessment, we explore how to prepare for and embrace leave in a way that fuels both your well-being and your ability to return stronger, more resilient, and more aligned with your purpose.
If you’re planning for a leave or supporting someone through the process, this episode will guide you toward the clarity and support you need to move through it with confidence. And remember, taking leave is an act of strength, not weakness.
Take the quiz, review your results, and if you need support, schedule a personalized debrief with me to get clear on your next steps.
