Can you imagine what transformation awaits you if you simply choose to slow down? In this episode, I invite you to journey with me through my four-month sabbatical, a time that began with resistance and ended with profound personal growth. Inspired by a conversation with Luke LeFevre, his words about the importance of slowing down initially felt daunting. However, embracing this leap of faith led me to reevaluate my life's pace and rediscover inner peace and clarity.
March was a turning point when mental fog and indecision signaled the need for a break. Leaving work was a rollercoaster of exhilaration and fear, filled with worries about my company's fate without me. This sabbatical wasn't just a vacation—it was a complete lifestyle overhaul that shook my identity to the core. Through new routines, intense journaling, and much-needed rest, I faced the challenge of understanding my worth beyond professional success. The first three weeks were especially turbulent, but they laid the foundation for the clarity and peace that followed.
The journey wasn't purely personal—it was deeply spiritual. I explored my life's mission and reconnected with my faith, particularly through the transformative power of Richard Stearns' book, "The Hole in Our Gospel." This spiritual quest led me to contemplate a career devoted to serving the needy, and I even considered a career change. Through prayer, stillness, and thoughtful decision-making, I found a renewed sense of purpose, especially in my work with Marriage Helper. Join me as I share how slowing down and seeking spiritual guidance can lead to life-changing clarity and fulfillment.
