Getting 5 Jobs in 5 Weeks After a 20 Month Career Break with Katrina McGhee

by | Oct 25, 2017 | Podcast, Podcast Interview



Ever found yourself crying in the car on the way home from work because you’re just so tired and emotionally drained from your job?

Katrina did. And after some serious unpacking and working it through she found her answer:

A Career Break.

But being a planner, she took it to the next level. Building in buffer time to re-climate to life back home and allow herself time to get a job, and saving $40,000.00 to take the trip of her dreams.

Today Katrina shares how she came to the conclusion that she needed a break, her planning and budgeting process, and more about her re-entry into the corporate world after 20 months away.

Our Top 10 Travel Wishlist – 2016

by | Mar 8, 2016 | Podcast

Ep-219

Let’s get one thing straight from the get-go.

We don’t know our own rules. And I’m ridiculously easy to convince.

So basically, this list is always changing, and you have the power to change it! Tweet me at @PackOfPeanuts and let me know why I should change my list, and what to!

Heather and I embark on the impossible, to nail down our top 5 destinations each. Some of them we’ll be visiting this year, others are still in the works. We know we’ll get everywhere eventually, but by then we’ll have a whole new list that’s probably longer than this one!

Travel is definitely addicting!

Tweet me at @PackOfPeanuts with your #1 travel destination!
