In this episode, Dawn Baker talks with Jillian Johnsrud. Jillian teaches, coaches, and writes about mini retirements and has done so for almost a decade. She is author of the upcoming book Retire Often: How anyone can take multiple career breaks to unlock adventure, advance their career, and find financial freedom.

Jillian also hosts the Retire Often podcast and is a popular speaker and consultant in the FI, or Financial Independence community. She lives in Montana, where she spends time in her garden drinking tea. We discuss all things mini-retirements (AKA sabbaticals): why you should take one, considerations for busy professionals, and how to negotiate and structure your time off.
