The Mindful FIRE Podcast 101 : Sabbatical Series #3 : Reflecting on my First 2 Months Off work & Achieving a Long Time Dream : Adam Interviewed by David Moltz
On today’s episode I share an update 2 months into my 3 month sabbatical.
During the time I chose a theme of “rest, play, and connection”.
I relaxed, watched comedy on Netflix, went for walks in nature, did a pushup challenge, and played pickleball with my wife.
I also had opportunity to realize one of my biggest dreams, which I had been envisioning. I create the opportunity to teach my first paid Envisioning Workshop at a Camp Woodward, which I attended as a teen and always wanted to return to.
