I\\u2019ve cut back on the work travel in recent years but it looks like that\\u2019s gearing up more this fall and in 2020.\\n\\n\\n\\nToday on the show, we\\u2019re not measuring time off from work in terms of long weekends or weeks.\\n\\n\\n\\nNo, today, we\\u2019re talking months.\\n\\n\\n\\nKelly Higdon is a business and lifestyle coach who prioritizes her time off so much\\u2026\\n\\n\\n\\n\\u2026that\\u2019s she\\u2019s worked up to taking a full 3 months off from her business every year.\\n\\n\\n\\nUnfortunately, Kelly\\u2019s inspiration wasn\\u2019t a well-timed shower idea or download from the universe\\u2014it was a trip to the hospital.\\n\\n\\n\\nYou see, Kelly wasn\\u2019t always so good about making space in her business for her life.

She was working all the time\\u2014and it caught up with her.\\n\\n\\n\\nKelly shares that story and her process for planning that much time off. She walks me through how she plans for life first and then makes her business fit in the space that\\u2019s left, as opposed to the other way around.
