Have you ever DREAMED of hitting the pause button and taking a sabbatical abroad? Or maybe you’re wondering, “How can I actually make that happen?”
Well, you’re in the right place because I’ve got something EXTRA special for you today! 💫
I recently sat down with the incredible Dr. Andrea DeMets—a mid-career pediatrician from Arizona, who packed up her stethoscope, her husband, and their three kids and made a bold move to start a sabbatical in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Curious how she did it? Wondering how she convinced her family and her practice to get on board? You’re about to find out all the juicy details!
🎥 Watch the vlog below to learn how Dr. DeMets made her Netherlands sabbatical a reality.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll learn:
✅ How Dr. Demets pulled off a sabbatical in the Netherlands
✅ the hardest part about leaving her practice
✅ what she’s doing during her sabbatical
✅ how she got her family on board – including her 3 kids
✅ the biggest differences she’s noted now after living in the Netherlands
✅ how she and her family found a way to immigrate to the Netherlands – even though they’re NOT EU citizens
✅ Her top advice for any physician thinking about a sabbatical abroad
One of the pearls Dr. Demets dropped stuck with me –Life is too short to wait for “someday” or “retirement.” You’ve got to make it happen now, because tomorrow is never guaranteed. 🙌
As a palliative care doc, I couldn’t agree more.
So, if you’ve been dreaming about pushing pause, and jetting off to discover something new… I’ll leave you with this wise gem from Dr. DeMets herself:
“Some of the biggest risks we take in life, reap the biggest rewards.”
