How to Take a Sabbatical as a Solopreneur with Maegan Megginson

The last time I went on vacation, I told people I wasn’t bringing my laptop. You know what they said?

“Good job! That’s great.”

The proper reaction should have been, “Obviously. Why would you bring work on vacation?”

But that’s not the culture we live in here in the USA. Overworking and hustling is glorified. That’s why I’m excited to talk to Maegan Megginson.

Maegan is a licensed therapist and holistic business mentor who believes every solopreneur can and should take sabbaticals—not just to rest, but to actually create a healthier, more sustainable business.

In fact, she’s made sabbaticals a cornerstone of her business model and helps others do the same.

We talked about how solopreneurs can actually make time for a sabbatical (even if you’re the breadwinner), what it looks like to step away without disappearing, and how to come back stronger, while avoiding burnout. This wasn’t some woo-woo talk about “finding yourself.” It was a practical, grounded look at how to create space in your business when it feels like the last thing you can afford to do.

Top Takeaways

Sabbaticals aren’t vacations—they’re intentional periods of rest and reflection, more like a “season of winter” in your business.
A four-week sabbatical gives your nervous system time to truly settle, with the first two weeks decompressing and the second two weeks offering space for clarity and creativity.
Planning is key: figure out your financial needs and start saving so you can pay yourself while you're off.
