I'm so happy you're here.
Sabbatical Stories is a space where I'll be chronicling my 3.5 month journey across New Zealand, Bali, Thailand, Bhutan, Turkey, Greece, Malta and Italy. I'll be sharing my experiences, ups and downs of life on the road, and a healthy dose of cultural, spiritual and personal growth learnings. I'm so excited to have you along for the ride!
So, how did I decide to embark on an international sabbatical only 1.5 years after starting Journey Land & Soul? Taking a sabbatical is something I’ve dreamed of for nearly 15 years. Yet making the leap has been an experience of patience, self-compassion, and facing my fears head-on.
The truth is, there were so many reasons the sabbatical wouldn’t work. I’m building a business. My husband, Jason, is excelling in his career. We have a home and a pet. There are obligations, events, and family members to think of.
But if you know me, you know that I am a big believer in the power of pause. In a world that moves so quickly, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of everyday life and forget to reflect and reconnect with what truly matters. As a coach, I’ve always encouraged women to build intentional lives that prioritize well-being, authenticity, and slowing down.
Saying yes to this sabbatical is me taking a page from my own book. Because there’s never going to be a perfect time. It's about creating the time.
So, beginning next month, I’ll be heading out of the country for 3.5 months with the intention of immersing myself in different cultures and healing practices, deepening my yoga and mindfulness, strengthening my connection to nature, improving my hiking and trekking, expanding my retreat offerings, and broadening my healing practices so I can return with fresh insights and wisdom to better serve you.
To my amazing community of women, thank you for empowering me to say yes to this time. Your encouragement and support have filled me with purpose, and 1.5 years after launching Journey Land & Soul with the mission of empowering women to live boldly, I see that it is YOU who continue to empower me.
This sabbatical is not only about personal growth—it’s about deepening my practices and bringing what I learn back home to enrich my work, community and retreat offerings. I’m honored to be on this journey with you, and I can’t wait to return with new insights to help us all grow together.
Whether you’re looking to reconnect with yourself, find deeper purpose, explore personal growth, or simply love travel content and learning about new places, I’d be so grateful for you to follow along.
Thank you for being here and for supporting me on this new chapter.
