In today's episode, I invited a good friend of mine, Yvana Wong - who has successfully executed a full-year sabbatical after deciding to leave her prestigious career in her hometown, the Philippines. She now resides and works in Hamburg, Germany.

We dive into what preparations she made, her decision-making process, and the internal struggles she faced before deciding it was time to finally do it.

If you've been thinking of taking a break yourself to maybe travel the world, or simply rest and do nothing - we hope this episode gives you insights!

This conversation is the first part of a two-part series. In Part 2, we will be exploring what actually happens when you're actually on sabbatical, the adventures and options Yvana did herself (from teaching English in Spain to workaways!), and her biggest mindset shifts during her sabbatical. Connect with Yvana on LinkedIn.
