The benefits of taking a mid-career break

#career #midlife

Hi there! After about 20 years working in traditional media, I recently took a five-month mid-career break after my last contract wound down in April. It's been an amazing summer of doing not very much at all—but I've learned two pretty important things about myself and from reflecting upon my own experiences, so wanted to share just in case they're helpful for anyone out there thinking about taking a mid-career sabbatical or adult gap year.

1. Taking a mid-career break was the best thing I could have done for myself at this point in my life
2. Going forward, I plan on diversifying my income streams
