What do you do when your life isn't working?

This is the question I asked during a moment of stark realization that, in spite of the hours I had spent meditating, doing yoga, journaling, taking staycations, and countless other "self-care" activities, I was still burned out and exhausted.

So I very hesitantly did the thing that I had sensed my heart had been calling me to do for years... step away from my business, my work as a trauma therapist, the endless to-do lists, and the crushing responsibilities and go on sabbatical.

This is the story of the fear, exhilaration, uncertainty, and giddy anticipation of taking a sabbatical. The journey of how I revived my heart and regained my time, energy, and joy.

It's a guide for how you can, too. Won't you join me on the journey?
