Call it algorithm bias, but in the world of social media some people seem meant to show up in your feed, today’s guest is a perfect example.

You’ll hear all about it in the episode, but in short, I connected with Kimberley Turner Eng, my guest for today’s episode, via a LinkedIn update she shared that went viral. In it, she talked about taking a break from her long career with Nike and Amazon to reset.

This makes today’s episode is a little different, as I’m chatting with Kimberly while she’s on said career sabbatical - she hasn’t started a business, or made any firm moves to retrain in a new field, she’s simply taking a break from her career to clear her head and realign with her values – which is the place I was in through early 2020.

Kimberly shares the story of how she came to this decision, how she planned for it, and what it’s been like to proudly own her status of “on a break”

So, if you’re craving some space to think, want to really get to know yourself, and think taking a pause might be just what you need - you’ll really love this chat!
