<p>For the season finale of Season 22, I am thrilled to welcome Jillian Johnsrud, author of <em>Retire Often</em>, to discuss how we can redesign our lives to include multiple career breaks instead of waiting until 65 to enjoy our freedom. As I wrap up 10 years of the podcast and prepare for my own hiatus, Jillian explains why we should treat our careers like interval training rather than a marathon to avoid burnout, sharing how she has successfully taken a dozen mini-retirements over the past two decades while raising six kids.</p><br><p>We dive deep into the practical logistics of designing a break of one month or longer, covering everything from negotiating sabbaticals with employers to the specific steps entrepreneurs must take to automate their businesses. Jillian also debunks the fear that time off ruins your finances, explaining how to handle healthcare costs and schooling while traveling, and revealing why mini-retirements can actually serve as capital investments that boost your future career trajectory and lifetime earnings.</p><br><p>For full episode show notes, visit <a href="https://jessicamoorhouse.com/449" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jessicamoorhouse.com/449</a></p><br><p><strong>Follow me</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessicaimoorhouse/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram @jessicaimoorhouse</a></li><li><a href="https://www.threads.net/@jessicaimoorhouse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Threads @jessicaimoorhouse</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jessicaimoorhouse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok @jessicaimoorhouse</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jessicaimoorhouse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook @jessicaimoorhouse</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/jessicamoorhouse1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube @jessicamoorhouse</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicaibowman/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn - Jessica Moorhouse</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Financial resources</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://jessicamoorhouse.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My website</a></li><li><a href="https://jessicamoorhouse.com/book" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My bestselling book <em>Everything but Money</em></a></li><li><a href="https://jessicamoorhouse.com/resources" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Free resource library</a></li><li><a href="https://jessicamoorhouse.com/shop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Budget spreadsheet</a></li><li><a href="https://jessicamoorhouse.com/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course</a></li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
