  • In this heartfelt episode, I open up about a deeply personal journeyā€”my decision to take a sabbatical from my business later this year. Join me as I share why I've chosen to step away, how I've been preparing both spiritually and logistically, and the challenges that come with such a bold move. You'll hear about my reflections around turning 63, the inspiration from Ruth Haley Barton's work, and my desire to model rest and renewal in the entrepreneurial space. Plus, I'll be updating you on my progress monthly, inviting you to journey alongside me as I prepare for this transformative time.
