A mini-retirement is emerging as a career trend among millennials, allowing individuals to take a break from their routine 9-to-5 jobs to focus on personal growth and fulfillment. Florence Poirel, a former Google senior program manager, took a year-and-a-half break due to work-related stress, while Jillian Johnsrud, a career coach, defines mini-retirement as any extended hiatus to pursue important personal interests. This flexible approach contrasts with traditional views of work and retirement, prioritizing experiences over continuous career advancement.
I was seeing signs of work-related stress and just questioning what I was doing with my job and my life in general.
The goal for some is no longer to front-load their work in life and only relax in old age.
Any time someone takes a month or longer away from the 9-to-5 to focus on something that's important to them.
Johnsrud is 41 and has taken 12 mini-retirements in her life so far.
