Author of You Are Not Stuck: How Soul-Guided Choices Transform Fear into Freedom
"Burnout from today’s ‘always-on’ culture is, at best, exhausting and unsustainable; at worst, it threatens to splinter us from the inside out. Laura Nguyen offers smart, take-you-by-the-hand guidance to pause, recharge, reevaluate and, ultimately, reemerge to work that is aligned with your strengths and values. This is the map you need when contemplating what’s next!"
Dr. Tamara Beckford

"Most of us jump headlong into an unplanned career break, but this book taught me it's not out of anyone's reach to have a PLANNED career break- yes, budgeting for this and money are discussed! If I or anyone I know is looking to take a career break, I'll definitely be recommending the Career Break Compass."
Lon Stroschein
Founder of the Normal 40 Movement, Best Selling Author, Coach, Podcast Host, and Speaker
"Career Break Compass” is more than just a book; it's a tool that empowers readers to negotiate a better tomorrow for themselves. It's an honor to endorse Laura Nguyen and her exceptional work, which extends the values we cherish in the Normal 40 community. This book is an essential read for those ready to step up their life's game by stepping back first."
Cara E. Houser
Author of Burned Out to Lit Up: Ditch the Grind and Reclaim Your Life
"This book debunks the myths keeping so many super performers tethered hard to the hamster wheel of burnout culture. We do have the power and ability to choose lives and careers in alignment with our values. The Career Break Compass offers readers practical tools, encouragement, and inspiration to help light the way so they can make meaningful use of their time away, and ultimately plan for a fulfilling and sustainable career on the other side."
