92. (S3E18) Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Passions with Stefanie Joy Muscat

Stefanie Joy Muscat is the founder and CEO of Bevara, a consultancy firm that specializes in helping mission-driven organizations reach their full potential by implementing best business practices.Stefanie started her first museum at just six years old. From that point on she would work in museums or similar spaces. When Stefanie’s world as a museum director and parent felt incompatible, she built her own business from the ground up to meet her needs. Though her life was "fine" for a while, she realized she never said no to anything, which caused her to resent the work she did and the company she built. She decided to shut down the business and took a dream job in another state. That move gave her the opportunity to take a different type of , life-changing sabbatical than you’ve heard about on previous shows.In this episode, you'll hear how her sabbatical time changed her perspective, and allowed her to pursue personal interests and focus on her physical, emotional, and mental health — all while continuing to get paid.
