    Ep. 58 - Why Time Away May Be the Future of Work | The Case for a Travel Reset

    Could taking time away from work be one of the smartest decisions you make for your career and your life? In this episode of How to Travel Full-Time, I explore why intentional time away, including a career break, sabbatical, or travel reset, may become an important part of the future of work. Inspired by the Harvard Business School Managing the Future of Work episode, "Why Time Away May Be the Future of Work," this conversation looks at how longer careers, workplace burnout, artificial intelligence, and rapid professional change are challenging the traditional idea that we should work continuously until retirement. But taking time away is not only about recovering from burnout. A well-planned travel reset can give you the space to reconnect with yourself, reconsider what you want from your career, and decide what your next chapter should look like. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the traditional 40-year career model is beginning to crack • How burnout can be information, not personal failure • Why vacations often do not solve deeper dissatisfaction • How travel creates distance, perspective, and clarity • Why taking time away does not have to damage your career • How a travel reset differs from a vacation or permanent full-time travel • What keeps accomplished professionals from taking extended time off • Why time away could become part of a long-term career strategy If your life looks successful from the outside but no longer feels aligned with the person you have become, this episode is for you. 🎧 Subscribe to this podcast for more conversations about travel resets, extended travel, burnout recovery, career reinvention, midlife transformation, and using travel as a catalyst for personal change. 🌍 Sign up for my upcoming free webinar, How To Use Travel To Transform Your Life, Even With A Busy Career [https://heatherbegins.com/future-webinar-interest/] Link to HBR podcast: Click here 💬 Question for you: Have you ever considered taking one to six months away from work?

    Ep. 57 - Is It Time For A Travel Reset?

    What if you need more than a vacation, but don't want to become a permanent nomad? In this episode, Heather explains why her work is expanding beyond full-time travel to include travel resets: intentional periods of travel designed to help midlife professionals rest, reconnect with themselves, and decide what comes next. In this episode Heather talks about the benefits of extended travel, and why you can't get those same benefits with vacation. You don't have to become a nomad to take an extended break to travel.

    Ep. 56 - You Don't Have to Travel Like a Backpacker to Travel Full-Time

    Some people assume that long-term travel means sacrificing comfort, constantly moving, taking exhausting flights, and living out of a tiny backpack. But full-time travel can look very different than that, especially if you're designing it around your real life, energy, comfort level, and priorities. In this episode, we talk about how to travel full-time comfortably, what sustainable long-term travel actually looks like, and why creating a travel lifestyle that feels good to you matters so much more than trying to travel the "right" way. If you're planning full-time travel or thinking about taking a career break to travel in the next 2–18 months, this episode will help you think differently about comfort, pace, accommodations, travel style, and what makes long-term travel feel realistic and enjoyable. ✨ Learn more about the Travel Abundance Accelerator by clicking here ✨ Join the waitlist for the upcoming webinar by clicking here
