Jackie and her hockey teammate Matt Parsons compare notes and share perspectives on their recent two-month sabbaticals, including why they decided to take the time off, how they set themselves up for success in doing so, what they spent their time off doing (Jackie's sabbatical was a staycation while Matt's was a vacation to South America), and what they ultimately took away from their experiences. Whether you've considered taking a sabbatical yourself or not, we invite you to open yourself up to the idea and take a listen!
