In 2022, I turned down a management promotion to take a 6-month sabbatical.

I was experiencing burnout, my creativity was stunted, and I wasn’t taking care of my mental or physical health. So I took six (mostly) blissful months to learn more about myself, my life/work boundaries, what I want in my career, and why any of this actually matters.

With confidence I believe this sabbatical has been one of the kindest and best gifts I’ve ever given myself. Due to the time invested over the last six months, I am a better creator, friend, partner, and person. I can emphatically say I am now open to new opportunities and feel ecstatic to see what good this refreshed version of myself can do for the world.

Currently, I’m sorting through and crystalizing the ideas, revelations, mistakes and, frankly, hard work I’ve done over the last 6 months! I’ll be sharing those here, so check back periodically for updates, book and podcast recommendations, the romanticization of the grueling (but satisfying!) journey of gardening, hiking adventures, nature photography, and sometimes nonsensical rambling that my therapist swears is part of the process! *deep breath*

Cheers, y’all.
