#110 Embracing the Pause | Petro du Pisani

--:--
Taking a Conscious Sabbatical from High-Pressure Corporate Careers.

I have never felt so vulnerable, yet I loved being so vulnerable in a guest interview. This is why we need more authentic conversations that bring us to a higher level of awareness. Absolutely brilliant insights! - Carmen

In this episode of Conscious LeadHERS, Carmen chats with Petro du Pisani about the unexpected journey. Away from their planned discussion on mining for this episode, they flow into the deeply personal and transformative topic of taking a sabbatical or conscious break from high-pressure corporate careers.

In a candid conversation, they explore the reasons behind such decisions, share invaluable lessons learned, and offer practical insights for those considering a similar path. From navigating feelings of burnout to the importance of financial planning, self-care, and reconnecting with oneself, Carmen and Petro touch on the various aspects of embracing the pause.

They also discuss the process of reintegrating into regular work life and ponder potential next steps. This enlightened dialogue serves as a testament to the power of taking intentional breaks and prioritising personal wellbeing in the pursuit of a fulfilling career and life journey.
