  • Inspirational!

    Hearing from people who have taken mini retirements give me hope & motivation! The never-ending 9 to 5 grind with only 2-3 weeks off per year, isn’t enough of a mental reset. I think some people just need more time, and it’s enjoyable listening to people who have accomplished this :)
