I took a month off from my business 😱 Sabbatical Recap

In today’s episode, I’m sharing about my own sabbatical experience: including the good, bad, and ugly. I took a month off from my business this summer during the month of June and I am sharing my thoughts, take aways, and experience with you.

After nearly 10 years in business, this is something I have never done but honestly always wanted to do.

This is what a freedom-filled business means to me and I was challenged, stretched and blessed by the experience.
