Share Your Sabbatical Journey

Your Story Could Guide the Next Leader. Sabbatical changes people. It restores what relentless responsibility erodes; clarity, capacity, and the joy of leading again. We're collecting stories from leaders who've been through it, and we want yours.

Why share your sabbatical story?

The Sabbatical Journey Podcast exists for the leader sitting on the fence — the one who knows they need rest but can't quite say yes to it yet. Your story of preparation, real rest, and what happened when you came back could be the thing that finally gives them permission.

Stories will be featured as podcast episodes, testimonials on our website, and resources for leaders exploring sabbatical for the first time.

Prepare: How did you get ready — personally, organizationally, spiritually?

Experience: What did sabbatical actually look like? What surprised you?

Reorient: What changed when you came back? What did you carry forward?
