223: Embracing a Sabbatical Year: Reflections on Change, Growth, and Finding True Joy


Listen Later

Sometimes, it's essential to step back and assess the path we're on - that's exactly what I did this year. After years of fighting the impacts of a global crisis on both my personal and professional life, I made the radical decision to take a sabbatical year. A year to disconnect from "extracurriculars" and focus on my business, my team, and myself. A year to reflect on what truly brings me joy, and rediscover the activities and people I truly missed.

Join me as I recount the unanticipated benefits of this self-imposed sabbatical. Listen to how I navigated the process of refocusing my energy, honing my business, and fostering team cohesion. I'll share how this radical change led to the acquisition of new skills and realizations about my membership community. As I look back at the past year, I'll discuss my plans to gradually reintroduce aspects of my life, emphasizing only those that truly bring me joy. I'll also share my plans to revamp this podcast and my community outreach. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever considered a sabbatical or a reset in your life.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Why I decided to take a sabbatical year to refocus on my business, team, and personal growth.
  • The impacts of the global crisis on my personal and professional life led me to the decision of a sabbatical year.
  • Exploring new hobbies and skills, such as baking bread and playing golf.
  • How I decided to revamp my podcast and community outreach based on the insights I gained during my sabbatical.
