This summer, life as a mom and business owner looked different than it ever has before. To be honest, some life stuff happened that needed my time and attention, and that meant pulling back from my business – not completely, but significantly. Although it wasn’t a complete sabbatical, it was very much like one in a number of ways.
What I learned is that, because of how I’ve intentionally built my business over the last several years, I COULD take this sort-of summer sabbatical without everything falling apart. And I’m so grateful I did. I’m sharing why I did it, what it looked like to take this semi-break and what valuable lessons I learned through it.
