Question 1

I’m not sure if or when I’ll take a break — should I wait to join?

Accepted Answer

No need to wait! Now is actually a great time to join.

If you’re still considering a break, unsure of the timing and/or worrying that it may not be feasible to take a break, BreakSpace will do three amazing things:
Bring you immense clarity and confidence in your decision by developing a purpose statement for your break and getting expert feedback on it—Break Blueprint Course
Overcome the specific challenges standing in your way by receiving personalized advice, encouragement and coaching from two leading experts—Drop-In Coaching Calls
Normalize your goal and make it feel 100 times more possible by surrounding yourself with real-life examples of other people taking breaks—Community Calls

We’ll take your break idea from “maybe” to “hell yes!” with a community of amazing breakers cheering you on. (We’ve already done this for lots of current members!)

Question 2

I’m in the process of planning my break. Will BreakSpace help?

Accepted Answer

Heck yes! The Break Blueprint Course will help you plan like a pro!

The course offers step-by-step guidance, including an initial self-assessment that will help you create the right mindset for planning a break. There are short video instructions for each of the 8 modules, along with worksheets to create your plan in real-time. The course is self-guided so you can access it immediately after joining and move as quickly or slowly as you’d like.

You’ll also benefit from drop-in coaching calls to help you quickly move through any challenges, and community calls that will provide inspiration and support from others on the same path.

This is Katrina’s favorite stage of the break journey and she’s very passionate about supporting every member through the process of creating a solid plan for their break!

Question 3

I’m on a break right now. Is it too late to join?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Almost half of our current members are currently on a break too!

And they’ve been finding helpful support and guidance in several ways:
They’re using the personal development resources to dive into self discovery while on their break (the perfect time for reflection!)
They’re watching our Masterclasses in Life Design and Career Transitioning to reimagine and intentionally design their next chapter
They’re using The Break Blueprint Course to retroactively create a purpose statement and themes to feel more directed and confident about the remainder of their break
They’re joining the community calls to gain inspiration from other breakers and spark new ideas, in addition to providing encouragement for those still in the planning stage. 
They’re getting targeted coaching during the drop-in coaching calls for issues like ‘dealing with guilt while on a break’ and ‘deciding when start the re-entry period’

BreakSpace supports your entire break journey - from planning to re-entry and beyond.

Question 4

How much time will I need to dedicate to BreakSpace each month?

Accepted Answer

This will depend on your preference, but we’d recommend at least 1 to 2 hours each week so you can make the most of the support and don’t lose your momentum.

Here are two examples of what that may look like:

For connection seekers: Join live calls like community calls, drop-in coaching sessions, and masterclasses, totalling about 1 hour per week. These sessions provide inspiration, motivation and direct access to Lyndall and Katrina for support.
For independent learners: Dive into our self-paced courses, pre-recorded masterclasses, and resource library. Spend as much or as little time as you like. You’ll get great benefits from just one dedicated hour per week, and you can stop by the drop-in coaching when questions arise.

Question 5

How long should I plan to be a member of BreakSpace?

Accepted Answer

We’d recommend staying for a minimum of three months. This provides a chance to meet your fellow breakers, review the relevant resources (including the Break Blueprint Course and Masterclasses) and attend a few drop-in coaching calls to get your questions answered.

Many members join well before their break, stay throughout, and remain for a few months after returning to work for support during the transition. We currently have members at every stage of the journey inside BreakSpace!

Remember, there are no lock-in contracts — stay as long as you’d like, leave when you’re ready to go.

Question 6

What if I can’t attend live calls due to my time zone or schedule?

Accepted Answer

We schedule live calls at different times to accommodate our global membership.

If you can’t make it live, replays are available! All Masterclasses and the Welcome Call are recorded and uploaded to the resource library, so you can watch them at a time that suits you. All courses are self-paced with videos on demand, ready to fit into your schedule.

Question 7

Is BreakSpace suitable for career changers or those considering a life pivot?

Accepted Answer

100%! Whether you’re taking a break to recharge, explore new life paths, or redefine your career, our courses, coaching, and community will support you in designing your next chapter.

Our resource library is already jam packed with over 20 detailed tools and guides to support self discovery, life pivots and career changes. We also have a growing library of Masterclasses including sessions on Life Design and Career Transitions with a new Masterclasses being added every month.

Many of our members are on a journey of self-discovery that they hope will lead to a new career (or a new way of life within their previous career). So you’ll be in good company and have many resources available to support your journey.

This is one of Lyndall’s favorite areas of the break journey to support - she’s a fantastic resource for members looking to create a big life transition through their break!

Question 8

Is BreakSpace only for long breaks?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! We support breaks of all lengths, from mini-sabbaticals of just a few weeks to career breaks lasting over a year. The tools and coaching are designed to fit your unique journey.
