160: How a breadwinner took the summer off: a case study

Andrea sat in her office staring at the school calendar. Four kids. Twelve weeks of summer. And a job at an academic center where summers off simply didn’t happen.

She was the breadwinner. She carried the benefits. She had convinced herself she wasn’t allowed to want something this big.

When she joined the program and I asked for her dream result, she finally said it: “I want the entire summer off.”

She spoke like it was a secret. Something dangerous.

And we helped her do it.

She took the whole summer off with her kids. Twelve full weeks. Her job was stable. Her relationships with her boss and colleagues strengthened because of HOW she did.

Here’s what you get from Andreas’s case study in this week’s podcast episode:
