I Took an Accidental 9-Month Business Sabbatical (And This is What I Learnt)

At the end of 2021, I took a short break in my business.

And that short break turned into an accidental 9 month PAUSE.

To the outside world it didn’t make sense - my business was growing at its fastest rate yet. I was scaling my team and my offerings. Everything was heading in that direction.

But then Andrew turned up in my life.

And I got the message loud and clear from God that it was time to enter the next phase of my life adventure.

So I took a step back.

I rested and napped.

I healed from burnout.?

I played.

I fell in love.

I grieved.

I spent time with the people I love.

I had tough conversations that I was burying inside of me.?

I let go of team members.?

I travelled.

I released more layers of conditioning and programming.

I said NO to a million and one things I was no longer going to tolerate.

I fought for myself in ways I had never fought before.

I had ego death after ego death.

I let people go.?

I fell off the face of social media.?

I closed off my business.?

I cried almost every day.?

And I went inwards knowing that God would call me again when he was ready for me.

And miraculously every need (financial, emotional and physical) I had was provided for and taken care of.?

Those 9 months led me to finding a level of peace and power I’d spent the last few years searching for that I couldn’t find in the midst of being a very busy coach in service of others.

It led me to starting a new life as a married woman to an incredible husband.

It led me to co-founding my new business with Andrew which launches in just 2 days.

It led me straight to my Truth.

I’m now emerging from that 9-month period into the next period of growth and all I can say is this - if you’re being called to PAUSE, do it. Something amazing awaits on the other side.
