I’m Taking a Sabbatical + Here’s Why
LISTEN NOW: ITUNES // SPOTIFY // STITCHER
This is a big episode for me. Punch line first: I am taking a 4-month sabbatical from this podcast and ALL things The Refined Woman related starting September 1st through January 1st. I know you probably have a million questions (and concerns) so this episode is dedicated to explaining why I’ve made this decision, what this time will look like for you, and what I’ll be doing while I’m away.
Why I’m taking a sabbatical
I’m tired + burned out. Ten years straight of content creation will do that to you..
This year has been one of five consecutive years that have been the hardest of my life — both personally + professionally. The fertility fail was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
I’ve felt so much hurt and I need to take some space to reconnect with God.
