What Those I've Helped Said After Their Sabbaticals
“It's completely worth it - I wish I would have done it sooner in my career.
A sabbatical allowed us to immerse ourselves into an adventure without the vacation end clock ticking in the back of our minds.
Everyone is different in terms of what might be challenging for a break - finances, logistics, mental health, pet care, the list goes on. The more people you can talk to who have gone through the same experience already, you quickly see that there are answers to all these challenges.”
Kristin & Alan
"The opportunity to talk through travel ideas and potential obstacles with friends who have already been through the experience is the best way to take away any anxiety or nervousness that planning a sabbatical may cause.
Just like any other intimidating adventure, once you’ve seen or heard about someone else tackling it successfully, you realize you can do it too!
Before we left for our sabbatical, the advice and stories that Susie shared with us proved invaluable. Her spirit was contagious and made us excited for our own trip."
Audrey & Harry
“I'm definitely a believer in the month long trip -- especially with kids, it takes the pressure off.
Someone can get sick, it can rain, you can have a bunch of mediocre meals and there is still so much time for magical things to happen.
I hope you are able to help people have this experience. It's really a special time. I no longer think a week counts as vacation!!”
Betsy, Jesse, and their 3 kids under age 5
How much does Sabbatical Suitcase Cost?
But first, what is NOT taking a sabbatical costing in your life?
What would it look like if you continued to live your current life for the next 5, 10, 20+ years?
- Relationships – how much true quality time and significant memories will you be able to build with the people that matter most to you?
- Parents – how much time do you have with your kids before they move out?
- Personal Goals – would you realistically achieve your goals and dreams if you don't make changes in your life?
- Mental & Physical Health – are you on the path to declining health...and therefore increasing medical costs?
.
You have a choice to…
Do nothing, which will cost your health, happiness, & relationships and leave you with regrets
Invest hundreds per session with a therapist, career or life coach
Wait until your burnout is so bad you need to take a medical leave and have to spend thousands on medical care
If you DO choose to take a sabbatical to proactively avoid burnout and take control of your life...
You could do it on your own, spend at LEAST 20 hours of wasted time going down the Google black hole guessing what you need to know (especially if this is your first time ever taking a sabbatical - you don't know what you don't know!)
OR You Could Fast-Track Your Sabbatical Planning!

About Susie Chau
As a classic high-achiever, Susie put too much pressure on herself to climb the corporate ladder like she was “supposed” to. But after too many cries in the office bathroom, Susie knew she needed a break, not just a vacation.
She took her first month long sabbatical in 2008 and returned back to work with more confidence, clarity, and energy than when she left. Susie realized it was what she needed to bring her best self to work.
Since then, she’s taken 3 more sabbaticals, including a yearlong career break with her husband where they visited all 7 continents.
Susie is passionate about helping others push the reset button in their crazy-busy, stressed out lives, so that they can pursue their biggest dreams and become better leaders. She's planned trips for over 200 people to all 7 continents.
