What is a Liberty Leave?

[lib-er-tee  •   leev]

noun



The act of giving yourself permission to take time & space to leave behind what doesn’t liberate you for what does.


To take a liberty leave from one’s job to rest and recover from burnout.

...f*ck that job

(for now)

A Liberty Leave™ is not your average career break, sabbatical, or mini-retirement.

It’s an intentional, empowering break to rest, recharge, and refocus while giving you the clarity and freedom to design a life you love.

No apologies.
