The problem was, I wasn\u2019t sure what to do about it.\n\u00a0\nOf course, I knew this role wasn\u2019t a long term fit for me, but I wasn\u2019t actually sure what was. I figured staying put was my best option until I figured things out but the unhappiness and anxiety around this role was clouding any sensible judgment for what my immediate future should be.\n\u00a0\nThen I made my best career decision, I decided to take some time off.\n\u00a0\nFrom January 2020 to August 2020, I created a sabbatical for myself. This break created distance from my career and that distance is what actually helped me gain clarity on my future career path.\n\u00a0\nI\u2019m not saying I have everything figured out now but I have such a healthier relationship with my career and I used that time off to do something that brings me so much joy now\u2026.I created a podcast.\n\u00a0\nMy good friend Krista Edwards had a similar experience. She needed a shakeup and turned to a career break as well. She spent 5.5 months hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, a long-distance thru hike which spans 2,650 miles.\n\u00a0\nWe are both going to share stories from experience and transformation and discuss why a career break might be the exact thing you need right now.\n\u00a0\nIf you\u2019re a listener of the show and haven\u2019t left us a rating and review, we\u2019d really appreciate it if you did.
