Today’s episode is a little different. In my conversation with Corbett Barr in the last episode, I was struck by the role that time off played in his career shift. We talked about it as both a “sabbatical” and a “vision quest”. Though most people might be familier with these idea, it is commonly something reserved for clergy and teachers.
Today, I wanted to explore the idea of intentional time off for everyone, so I got together with my good friend Lacy Clark Ellman. Lacy is a spiritual director and blogger who writes around idea of intentionality in life. She also has just returned from a sabbatical. We discussed how taking time off intentionally can provide a much-needed reset for the mind and spirit. Lacy shared her experiences during her sabbatical, emphasizing the importance of allowing oneself the freedom to reflect and recharge. She noted that a key aspect of this process is letting go of outcomes in work, which can often create pressure and hinder creativity.
We talk about what sabbaticals are and how everyone could benefit from taking one.
