About this listen
So was Sheila Maloney, a forty-two-year-old lawyer from Chicago with three kids under ten. On paper, everything was great. She had a loving husband, a career, and a home. But Sheila was exhausted by her life’s frenetic pace, running to and from practices, meetings, and other back-to-back appointments. Sheila wondered, “Is this life making me happy or just driving me nuts?” Sheila decided there had to be more, so she packed up with her family of five and embarked on a journey to Vitória, Brazil, where she spent a year reconnecting with herself, family, nature, and the country she was born in.
In Family Gap Year, Sheila will tell you about her adventure and what she learned when she stopped doing what society told her she should do and started listening to what her soul was calling her to do instead. Part memoir, part self-help, part travel guide, and all heart, Family Gap Year will show you how you can
- Slow down and escape the exhausting cycle of go-go-go
- Reconnect with your family, nature, and authentic self
- Revive your marriage
- Reveal the splendor of the world to your children
If you want Eat Pray Love but for families, Family Gap Year is the perfect book for you. Escape the daily grind and follow your dreams!
