Show Notes

In this live coaching session, I’m joined by Kathryn Temple, professor of law & humanities at Georgetown University, to explore the practical and emotional dimensions of sabbatical life.

Drawing from her extensive experience, Kathryn shares why it’s crucial not to romanticize sabbaticals as total escapes from life’s responsibilities.

We talk candidly about planning for disruptions, setting priorities, managing boundaries, and embracing the messiness of the process.

Kathryn also shares what’s on her plate for her upcoming sabbatical—including an academic book, a poetry collection, and a new writing coaching venture to support non-traditional students.

Whether you’re planning your first or fifth sabbatical, this conversation offers grounded insights for making the most of your time away.
