Sabbatical Coaching
by Priyanka Vakil
Welcome to the third option
What is a sabbatical?
You feel stuck between endless job applications and staying in roles that drain you.If you’re quietly wondering whether there’s a different way to live and work — you’re not alone.Unlike academic sabbaticals or corporate career breaks, sabbaticals can be a tool for transformation — grounded in deep rest, personal clarity, and collective care.No rigid models, no corporate scripts. Just space for you.Through sabbatical coaching, I help people who are questioning how they show up in the world explore whether a sabbatical is the right tool for their season of life.
about me
Hi, I’m Priyanka
I created Syzygy after my own season of deep rest and reorientation. Helping people has always been at the core of who I am — as a consultant, a coach, and a community-builder.I believe sabbaticals are one of the most powerful ways we can care for ourselves and, in turn, for each other. My approach is intuitive, cyclical, and rooted in collective care — far from the corporate models of burnout and “time off as productivity.”I blend research, personal experience, and collective care to offer a grounded, practical framework for planning and living your sabbatical — without quitting your values or your vision.
Your Invitation
I’m building something for those who are ready to question, wander, and maybe — just maybe — step off the track long enough to find themselves again.Curious if a sabbatical might be the right tool for you—now or in the future?
