EP 492: Retire Often: How Mini-Retirements Can Boost Your Career and Your Happiness
Description
Have you ever dreamed of walking away from your job — not forever, but just long enough to breathe, explore, rest, or chase a big, bold adventure? This week, we're talking about a radical reframe: What if we didn’t retire once at 65… but instead took many retirements throughout our lives?
Jean sits down with Jillian Johnsrud, author of Retire Often: How Anyone Can Take Multiple Career Breaks To Unlock Adventure, Advance Their Career, and Find Financial Freedom. By 40, Jillian and her husband had taken more than a dozen mini-retirements; all while raising six kids, building a real estate portfolio, traveling the world, and staying financially afloat.

- How to afford time off even on a normal salary
- The 6.5% savings trick that could fund a lifetime of breaks
