How To Take a Sabbatical and Not Feel Guilty About It w/ Jereshia Hawk

Small Business PR

If you want a refreshing conversation about re-defining success and giving yourself permission to take a break, this episode is for you. We are constantly told in the entrepreneur world to grow at all costs, which can lead to unhealthy and unrealistic expectations of what success looks like. I'm joined by business strategist Jereshia Hawk as she shares her journey of building her business from zero to 1 million+ a year in revenue and why she decided to take a step back by taking a 7 month sabbatical at the height of her business growth.

Here’s What We Cover In the Episode and More:

• Jereshia’s decision to take a planned sabbatical at the height of her career
• Key themes like internalized capitalism, burnout, and redefining success
• Jereshia’s business journey and how she planned her seven-month sabbatical
• The role of money mindset and discovering the concept of “enough”
• Shifts in business priorities and how personal growth played a role
• Value of agency, defining success, and healing through business
• Tips for managing stress, personal boundaries, and self-care as a business owner

Taking a sabbatical isn’t stepping away from success; it’s recharging your superpowers. Remember, burnout doesn’t make you a hero— balance does. So ditch the guilt and embrace the break; your best work is waiting on the other side of rest!
