Episode 74 - Can you afford to take a career break?

In this episode I revisit the theme of career breaks. I have previously mentioned this in season 1 episode 7 please see link to this episode here https://anchor.fm/careerhappiness/episodes/Episode-7---How-can-I-restart-my-career-after-a-career-break-e3k3bc

What's different about this episode is I will be taking about the guilt and pressure that many of us feel when we have a break. Sometimes a career break isn't necessarily a option and it can be down to circumstances in life.

  • I also talk about how burnout can be a huge factor to taking a break.

  • What are the emotional and financial implications of a break

  • Can it help you to be more career happy and have better wellbeing.
