  • Planning travel or other logistics

  • Navigating mid-leave challenges
  • Exploring creative projects during leave
  • Building accountability or support systems

I know what intentional time away can do

I combine personal experience with expterise in identity, planning, and purposeful transitions to guide you with clarity, support, and actionable strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

This session is for anyone preparing for or already on a sabbatical or self-directed time away. A one-hour session with me is particularly helpful if you’re navigating a specific sabbatical-related decision or challenge, and could use the support or guidance of someone (me!) who has experienced and navigated multiple forms of time away.

Not at all. A Strategy Session can be a great first step to clarify goals, identify next steps, or navigate logistics. Come with questions, ideas, or even just uncertainty that you need to talk through with me. We’ll make progress toward clarity during our conversation.

A lot more than you might expect. I’ll review your pre-session form before we meet, so that I understand your circumstances right from the start of our session. This way, our session will be structured time to focus on your key challenge or decision. You’ll leave with clarity, direction, and actionable next steps.

You may find everything you need in a single session, or you may decide to continue working with me. We can work to build something that best supports you. If you choose to continue working with me after a single session, the amount paid for your strategy session will be applied toward the cost of longer-term support.

Yes, and I take this very seriously. This is a private conversation where you can talk through questions, goals, or challenges related to your time away. Everything you share – personal or professional – is treated with discretion.
