November 17, 2021 Saving Money for a Long-Term Trip or Career Break
In today's episode I lay out an easy-to-follow plan to start saving money for your trip. In fact, this is great advice when saving for ANYTHING or simply to start taking control of your finances.
The first step is to have an awareness of your money situation. If you don't know what is coming in and going out, how are you supposed to make a practical decision around how much to save and what to spend.
I should also note, this episode is NOT about cutting out everything excess and avoiding fun until you leave on your trip. That is no way to live. Saving for something big like a career break is all about having awareness around your circumstances and making empowered decisions that help you meet your goal WHILE enjoying life.
**I am not a financial advisor. I am simply making suggestions from my experience as a money savvy traveler**

You can put yourself in an excellent position to re-enter the workforce by doing a few things before you even leave your current role.

November 17, 2021My Career Break Story
As the host of this podcast, I dedicated this episode to sharing my story with an emphasis on the two career breaks I have taken. I touch on:
My background in Chemical and Biomolecular engineering
My job in the oil field
The burnout
My exit
My trip around the world
My re-entry into the workforce and transition to a completely new industry
My minor identity crisis and short-lived return to the world of engineering
Career Break #2
At this point, I have experienced a very non-linear career. I have an unwavering belief that life is meant to be lived and the world is meant to be explored. My career breaks were the necessary stepping stones for me to rediscover myself and my passions and to open my eyes to the travel possibilities that are available in this world.

November 17, 2021 Planning a Long-term Trip or Career Break to Travel
Planning for a long-term trip or career break is completely different than planning for a vacation. It is entirely too time consuming plan every single day, not to mention, you're not sure how you'll feel by, say, month three, plus it's important to leave room for spontaneity.
In this episode I give tips on how to think about the type of traveler you are and how to determine where to go. These are things that will impact budget. Knowing the type of traveler you are and being honest with yourself about it is key to a successful trip. There is no sense suffering night after night in a hostel dorm just to save money if you truly hate it. We plan so we can budget and save, so you can design your break on your terms!

November 17, 2021 Why Does Taking a Career Break Feel So Scary?
We tend to receive what we focus on...
In this episode we discuss the scarcity mindset vs. the abundance mindset. The corporate world tends to be dripping in scarcity so it is no wonder we carry that with us in everything we do. It serves the employer for us to believe that we are competing for raises and promotions as that motivates people to work harder, right?
Scarcity also looks like money worries and believing we aren't good enough or that we would never be able to score another job if we leave the one we're in now. What if I told you money is renewable resource, that there is plenty to go around. And that having a job is simply evidence that you are capable of scoring another one. A lot of the fears and limiting beliefs surrounding taking a career break stem from our scarcity mindset, so in this episode we address it. We also discuss strategies for trying on an abundance mindset.
If some of these fears around taking a career break resonated, be sure to tag me @thetravelshifters on Instagram and share this episode with your community to spread the word. Also, if you liked what you heard, please leave a review on Apple podcasts; it would mean a lot! See you in the next episode!
