Welcome to Sabbatical Studio

Create space to figure out what’s next

Support for academics to step back and gain clarity—especially when work feels off—grounded in a sabbatical ethos

Space Changes how you see your work

Stepping back—even briefly—can help you make sense of what feels off and what you want to shift.

You don’t always need more effort. Sometimes you need perspective. From there, you can decide what needs to change and what doesn’t.

Support for Creating Space and Clarity

When work feels off or misaligned, the answer isn’t immediate action—it’s space. That space might look like a sabbatical, a shorter intentional break, or small moments built into your current work.

I’m Liz, and I believe work needs space to breathe.

I’m a professor who believes we need better ways to create space during our careers.

I’ve been in the position of looking at my work and thinking, this doesn’t feel right anymore. What helped wasn’t pushing through, but stepping back.

Formal and informal breaks can open space for reflection and realignment. That’s why I created Sabbatical Studio: to support accomplished professionals in creating intentional space for clarity and direction in their work.
