Let’s talk about taking a break — on purpose. A career break that’s planned, powerful, and maybe even paid. Yep, we’re talking about sabbaticals, and no, they’re not just for burned-out professors or unicorn executives.
In this episode, we’re joined by Katrina McGhee, a certified master coach, MBA, sabbatical strategist, and author of Taking a Career Break for Dummies. She’s also the co-founder of BreakSpace, a community for professionals designing intentional time off. After leaving her corporate job in 2013, Katrina traveled the world for 20 months and came back to five job offers in five weeks — so yeah, she knows what she’s talking about.
We explore how a sabbatical can be:
-
A strategic move for your career growth
-
A burnout buster with real ROI
-
The reset button you didn’t know you were allowed to hit
-
A radical rejection of hustle culture
-
The gateway to more joy, clarity, and fulfillment — in work and life
If you're constantly on empty, chasing a finish line that never comes, or wondering if there's more to life than back-to-back Zoom calls... this one's for you.
