Thinking about taking a career break but don't know where to start?


August 2024. I quit my job at Scapia with no backup plan.


Spent €10,000 (₹9L+, 1/3 of my savings) on:

→ 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat

→ 30-day mountaineering course in Sikkim

→ 4 months backpacking across South America


Everyone thought I was reckless. Best decision I've made.


In 45 minutes, we'll cover:

→ Is a career break right for you? (honest assessment, not motivation)

→ Finances: How much do you actually need? How to save it?

→ Where to go, what to do (based on YOUR goals, not Instagram)

→ Making it transformational (not just "taking time off")

→ Coming back stronger (framing the gap, what you learned)


You'll leave with:

✓ Honest assessment (should you do this or wait?)

✓ Budget breakdown (real numbers, not guesswork)

✓ 3-month action plan (save → quit → experience → return)

✓ Conversation scripts (how to tell manager, parents, partner)


I'm not here to sell you on a career break.


I'm here to help you decide if it's right and execute if it is.


Bring your doubts. We'll work through them.
