54. Signing off for summer
In this last episode of Sabbatical 101 before I take a break for the summer, I review the most common questions I get about sabbatical planning and reflect on what I've learned over two years as a sabbatical coach. I hope you have a restful summer. I know I'll be slowing down and scaling back. If that sounds appealing to you, but you're not sure how to do it, check out my Summer Reset Workbook. It's full of prompts and guidance to help you identify what's most important this summer and set realistic goals. Read more about the Top 5 Sabbatical Questions I encounter and my tips for navigating them. If you have a fall sabbatical coming up, now is the time to get in touch. I have just a few spots left in my sabbatical planning program for summer. Schedule a free 30-minute call to learn more!

53. The importance of planning a sabbatical with intention and flexibility: The view from Sabbatical #3
In this episode, I talk to Rea Dvakos, an academic librarian at the University of Toronto, about how to intentionally craft a sabbatical that supports personal growth, research breakthroughs, and even retirement planning. Rea’s experience is firsthand evidence that a sabbatical can be more than just a break, but only if you plan it with intention. She shares how her sabbaticals were opportunities to reimagine routines, explore new behaviors, and make space for what truly matters. Rea describes the strategies that have worked for her over three sabbaticals including how to set meaningful personal goals, craft daily routines that match your energy levels, and use sabbaticals as testing grounds for new behaviors or career directions. You'll learn how to reframe setbacks, stay flexible in your plans, and build habits that carry forward long after your time away. If you've ever felt overwhelmed planning your time away or worried about losing momentum, this episode offers practical insights from someone who’s been there multiple times. Feeling overwhelmed or stuck planning your own sabbatical? Learn more about my sabbatical planning program and schedule your free consultation.

52. Getting ready to plan your sabbatical: Navigating eligibility and university deadlines
When it comes to planning a sabbatical there are a lot of logistics to be aware of. This information is often not clearly laid out on institutional websites or faculty handbooks. In this episode, I go over six things you should know about before you start to plan your sabbatical. I discuss: eligibility, sabbatical timing, the application process and deadlines, understanding how to fund your sabbatical, and when to start applying for fellowships. I hope this episode will help you understand when you'll be eligible for sabbatical and will help you understand the requirements at your institution. You can learn more about the Summer Reset Workbook here. And purchase your copy here. Learn more about funding your sabbatical here.
