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.

What this will look like for you

  • September I’ll still be running my sex ed workshop series—Sep. 7 for 4 consecutive weeks

  • Weekly emails — books, meditations, podcast round-ups

  • Patreon will still be running every week

    • Join Patreon here

    • Monthly coaching calls

      • October: Shaun Galanos (Wed, Oct. 19)

    • 2 exclusive Q+A videos a month recorded by me

    • My team will do updates on IG stories about what we’re up to each month + upcoming Patreon calls

What I’ll be doing while I’m away

  • Connecting with a spiritual community that feels safe for me

  • Getting my yoga certification— I’ve always wanted to do this!
