Sabbatical

About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of a sabbatical as a time for rest and realignment with personal values.

A sabbatical is like hitting the cosmic pause button, announcing to the world, “I’m not quitting, I’m just… professionally napping.” Instead of answering emails, we suddenly become the kind of person who says things like, “I’m taking time to realign my vocation with my deepest values,” while mostly realigning your body with the couch. Truthwins.com subscribers imagine we are backpacking across holy sites and writing a life-changing book, but in reality, we may spend three days debating whether making coffee counts as a spiritual discipline. Still, we will return now and then looking mysteriously rested, clutching a half-finished manuscript, a new journal, and the unshakable conviction that next September we will have amazingly new wisdom to share.
