Is a sabbatical a gateway to nomad life?

Kirsti is a career break and sabbatical coach who thought she'd be back at her job within a few months. I invited Kirsti on because I had one question: is a sabbatical a gateway to nomad life?I didn't get the answer I expected and the conversation turned into so much more. Instead she became a yoga teacher and a coach for those who want to do a career break or a sabbatical. We talked about what happens when you quit your job, step away from your routine, and everything you thought you wanted, and why it's so much more work on yourself than most people expect.We get into:- What a sabbatical actually is- Why you can't outrun yourself- How to approach your boss before you have it all figured out- What the inner work actually looks like- Why the planning is the easy partIf you're thinking about a career break, already on one, or just sitting at your desk thinking "this is not it", this one's for you.Find Kirsti:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstikuenstelLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirstikuenstelSubstack: https://kirstik.substack.comAnd follow Being A Lot on Instagram @Beingalot.podcast00:00 Intro00:31 Meet Kirsti: from corporate to career break coach06:08 Who actually takes a sabbatical (and why)13:46 The mistake most people make when planning a break20:30 You can't outrun yourself25:15 The traveling hamster wheel33:10 On women, conditioning, and taking up space37:05 How to approach your boss46:05 Leaving without a plan53:12 Stop building another hamster wheel01:01:17 Letting go of the Disney dream01:09:07 Authenticity, comparison, and choosing your own life01:13:15 The more you postpone it, the more life you're missing
