Taking a break from traditional work can be one of the hardest—and most transformative—decisions in a career. We’re joined by two guests, Shobha Kansal and Jai Kensey, to explore the different reasons for taking a career break and the lessons learned along the way.First, Shobha Kansal, a PhD candidate and former corporate leader, shares her journey of leaving the workforce twice—first to pursue a master’s degree and later to commit to her PhD fully. Then, Jai Kensey, CEO of Kensey Consulting, opens up about her decision to take a leave of absence from the corporate world to focus on her mental health, and the impact that choice had on her life and career. Together, they explore the importance of listening to your body, pursuing growth opportunities, and how taking time off can be a vital step in career development.Join us for part one of this two-part series on career breaks, and be inspired to rethink the role that intentional time off can play in your professional and personal growth.Resources:Read: Millennials Love Sabbaticals--Here's How To Save For YoursRead: Sabbatical on a Budget | Full FocusListen: Episode 7.
