this sounds like an amazing resource and community. So glad you’re putting it out into the world.

also sabbatical consultant is hilariously perfect. bc the people who need a sabbatical most will find such familiar comfort in a “consultant” to just tell them how to do it :)

super interesting to get a snippet into your varied convos

So true, Sam..

Maybe I’ll use this to explain what I’m trying to do with the guided journey :)

I am SO EXCITED you are doing this. You are a natural when it comes to guidance and providing space and support for others that want to learn more about a sabbatical. You gave me so much encouragement and helpful recommendations--and we were complete strangers! I’m really happy you’re turning this into a concrete thing that others can have access to. I wonder if, back in Bali when you knew you wanted to create something, you had any idea this would be the thing! I can hear it in your voice you’ve found something that ignites you. That’s so inspiring. ❤️

Thanks SO much for your encouragement, Heather 💛💛

I had no idea I would be creating this when I was in Bali. I had other ideas, things that felt much more *professional* (lol)

It’s only once I left Bali that I started thinking about doing this. Now, it’s like an exciting itch that I really want to scratch.

That sounds like a super valuable resource and community. Coming off a long career break, I had very similar thoughts, and it's a joy to see you follow through! Furthermore, I know it's a smart move of you to stay in the "sabbatical spirit" yourself for a bit longer :D

So true!!

Speaking to people who are thinking of embarking on the journey or who are on the journey right now is so energising for me. It truly helps me put work (my job) into perspective.

The sabbatical spirit is still going strong ✨

Also: I’m seeing many people embarking on their own journey, it’s wonderful to watch!
