mercredi 10 septembre 2025 • Durée 36:32
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.

How to afford time off even on a normal salary
The 6.5% savings trick that could fund a lifetime of breaks
How to negotiate a month off from your employer
Why taking time away from your career could actually make you better at it
