In Sarah William's case, a sabbatical led to the discovery of her true calling -- and a new mission-driven business venture. After eight years working in banking in London, Sarah realized that she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life in that career. Though initially hounded by feelings of failure, she quit her job to take a year off to travel. Her adventures included climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and backpacking South America. That time and space helped her uncover her greatest passions: a life of adventure, and the desire to motivate women and girls to pursue their own big challenges. She started the Tough Girl podcast, which features interviews with inspirational women of all ages who have overcome great challenges. It is now listened to in 174 countries around the world and surpassed 600,000 downloads. Hear Sarah’s candid account of how she used a sabbatical to discover her mission in life, and what she then did to turn that into a business. Show notes at www.lisahoashi.com. Follow us!
