Welcome to Sabbatical Studio

Create space to figure out what’s next

Support for people considering a sabbatical or intentional time away from work to step back, regain perspective, and more forward with clarity

Space Changes how you see your work

Stepping away from work—even briefly—can change how you understand it.

Maybe you’re burned out and wondering how much longer you can keep going. Maybe you’re feeling stuck or disconnected from work that once felt meaningful, and ready for something different. Or maybe you’ve reached a milestone and realized you’re not sure what comes next.

In these moments, the answer usually isn’t to push harder. It’s to create space for reflection, perspective, and realignment.

That’s what sabbaticals and intentional breaks can offer.

Support for Sabbaticals, Career Breaks, and What Comes Next

Whether you’re considering a sabbatical, planning one intentionally, or trying to make sense of what comes after a period away, I offer support to help you create meaningful space in your work and life. Whether it’s a fully funded sabbatical through work, self-designed time away, or a shorter reset built into work, I’ll work with you to make the most of this time.


I’m Liz, and I believe we need space to reassess our work.

I’m a professor, writer, and sabbatical coach who believes we need healthier ways to step back and reevaluate our relationship with work.

Over time, I realized that pushing harder wasn’t helping me reconnect with what mattered. What helped was creating space: through sabbaticals, intentional breaks, travel, and time away from constant productivity.

That experience shaped the way I approach coaching today. I created Sabbatical Studio to support people who are considering stepping away from work, or who simply need space to figure out what comes next.
