About this episode

Amy and Bernie discuss how parents can realistically experience a sabbatical while managing family life.

Is it possible for Mom and Dad to sabbatical at the same time? If you’ve ever tried, you know it’s tough. In this “Mailbag Episode,” Amy and Bernie are joined by Jenilee Goodwin to explore how parents with kids at home can realistically experience a sabbatical. They unpack how to redefine sabbatical in a full season of life by slowing the pace, lowering expectations, simplifying meals and schedules, and involving the whole family in supporting mom’s rest (as well as dad’s).  Got a question, reach out, we'd love to talk about it.
