Summary
Episode 72 - How to Start Living Your Career Break Before You Quit Your Job What if you didn’t have to wait until your career break or sabbatical officially started to begin changing your life? In this episode of Taking a Career Break , Katrina and James explore the powerful idea of living your break life early . Through the story of one of Katrina’s coaching clients, they discuss how gaining clarity around your values, goals, and vision can create immediate momentum—even years before your planned break begins. The client in this episode was nearly two years away from leaving work, yet within just four weeks of creating a clear break vision, he had started building community, improving his health, spending more meaningful time with family, and creating a life that already reflected many of his career break goals. Whether you're actively planning a sabbatical, dreaming about taking time off work, or simply feeling stuck and burned out, this conversation shows why you don't need permission—or a future date on the calendar—to start designing a more fulfilling life today. 🎙️ Enjoying the podcast? ⭐ Follow or subscribe on your favourite podcast app so you never miss an episode! 💬 If the show has helped or inspired you, leaving a quick 5-star review genuinely makes a huge difference and helps more people discover the podcast. 📲 And if you know someone feeling burned out, stuck in their career, or dreaming about taking a career break, share this episode with them — it might be exactly what they need to hear. ❤️ Your support helps us continue creating honest conversations, practical advice, and inspiring stories for people ready to make a change. ▶️ Watching on YouTube?
