If you’ve listened all the way through this series, it likely means a sabbatical no longer feels like a far-off fantasy. In this final episode, Maegan speaks directly to that threshold moment when curiosity starts turning into commitment. This is a pause to take stock of everything you’ve learned so far.

She walks through the full seven-month Sabbatical School journey from start to finish, showing how each phase builds on the last. The process is intentionally paced to fit into real life, requiring only a small amount of weekly effort while creating meaningful momentum toward time away.

This episode is an invitation to zoom out and see the whole picture. You’ll hear how financial preparation, time awareness, relationships, systems, rest, and integration come together to support a sabbatical that truly changes how you live and work.
