Today’s episode is all about a concept you’ve probably heard tied to college kids — the gap year — but I’m flipping it on its head and making it make sense for midlife.
👀 Ever felt stuck in a rut, wondering if this is really all life has to offer?
⚡ Ever craved a reset but convinced yourself you couldn’t afford the time, money, or space to do it?
What if I told you a shorter, more intentional version — a Gap Quarter — could be the most transformative thing you ever do?
In this episode, I’m sharing:
Why the Gap Quarter is just as powerful at midlife as the traditional gap year is for 18-year-olds.
The science behind breaking from routine and why your brain needs novelty to grow.
How I personally planned, structured, and navigated my own Gap Quarter — including the surprising things I tried (hello, improv and modeling 👋).
Common fears and obstacles (money! responsibilities! time!) — and how to work through them.
The mindset shifts and practical tools that helped me reinvent how I see myself, my work, and my life.
Whether you’re burnt out, uninspired, or just feeling the pull for something more, this episode is your permission to pause, reflect, and reimagine what your next chapter could look like. 💫
