Yes, you can take a month-long sabbatical.

… even if you feel like you can’t afford it, don’t have time for it, or worry your business will fall apart without your constant attention.

Let’s plan your sabbatical in 2026

You might be asking, “Who am I to think I can take a whole month off from my business?!” 

The idea of a sabbatical feels like a fantasy reserved for “other people” — tenured professors, trust fund kids, or CEOs with rock star teams who keep the business running while you’re away.

And since you identify with approximately zero of those categories, you’ve assumed a sabbatical just isn’t in the cards for you… even though you’re downright desperate for a break. 

You’re stressed, exhausted, and quietly questioning whether you made the world’s biggest mistake by starting your own business. You barely have time to breathe, let alone take a whole month off. And making it work financially? Forget it.

…but is that really true?

For many business owners, a month-long sabbatical is far more doable than it seems, and with the right preparation and structure, it could totally transform your life. 

Imagine healing your burnout, reclaiming your time, clarifying your next big idea, and figuring out exactly what needs to change about your business so that it truly works for you — not the other way around.

This free toolkit will show you how.

”Deeply Rested is one of the few newsletters I never miss. When I’m kicking back in the middle of the day with an erotic novel and a box of Triscuits, or losing myself in a creative task that I’m not “supposed to be” working on that day, I hear the encouraging (and hilarious) voice of Maegan Megginson, who taught me about paying myself with rest.

”Maegan's newsletter offers inspiration, a source of curiosity and reflection, and gentle encouragement to be my true self. Her voice is refreshingly honest and playfully challenges us to question everything on the path to becoming deeply rested and wildly successful.

”Maegan is an authenticity beacon...like the Horn of Gondor, but with emails.

Lindsey B.

”Maegan thoughtfully shares inspiring content, resources, and opportunities in her newsletter, Deeply Rested. Through it, I've learned how funny and talented she is as a writer, what a big heart she has as an entrepreneur and therapist, and that she's on the same road of getting to know herself better as a highly sensitive person. I feel encouraged, seen, and gently motivated. Thank you for sharing yourself in a deep and wholehearted way.

Svetlana G.

”I think this may be the first newsletter that I read all the way through with deep focus. I am so excited to receive more. Wow, did I just say that about a newsletter? Thank you so much!

”Maegan's emails are the perfect blend of spiritual musings, humorous storytelling, simple life lessons, and a whole lotta heart. Besides emails from my clients, they're the only emails I read through to the end every time! Get them, like your daily multivitamin!

Maggie E.

”I look forward to the Deeply Rested emails so much that I flag them and set reminders so I can really enjoy everything Maegan has to offer. They’re really that good! The storytelling is phenomenal, the kind that constantly has me nodding along while dying to know what’s next. Deeply Rested drops my cortisol just by being in my inbox.

Jess B.

”Wow, she’s talking about what I feel in my soul! Maegan's like a highly sensitive, mega-smart Yoda!
