If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I just need a break…”—this episode is your permission slip, your roadmap, and your wake-up call all in one.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Katrina McGhee—Career Break and Sabbatical Expert, certified master coach, and author of the upcoming book Taking a Career Break for Dummies.

Katrina helps high-achievers and mid-career professionals take bold, life-changing breaks without burning it all down. She’s helped 60+ clients pause their careers to travel, launch businesses, pivot industries, and come back more aligned, energized, and fulfilled than ever.

And she did it herself—saving $40K in 18 months to take a 20-month career break that changed her life.

In this episode, we cover the full spectrum:
✅ How to plan for a career break (mentally, financially, and logistically)
✅ Who actually needs one—and why it’snot “quitting”
✅ How to make your time off meaningful, not just time away
✅ What to do after the break to re-enter work with power, not panic
✅ How to design a break that heals burnout and opens new doors

If you’re stuck in the grind and wondering when you’ll get to live…
or you’re secretly dreaming of stepping away but terrified of what it might cost…

🎧 This episode will change the way you see breaks—and help you finally start building a life that works for you.
