  • Career Change after a Career Break: From the UN to animal welfare, A Humanitarian Sabbatical Story with Ana Izvorska

    Career Change after a Career Break: From the UN to animal welfare, A Humanitarian Sabbatical Story with Ana Izvorska
    2026/03/26
    In this Season 4 episode of Sabbatical Stories, Ana Izvorska shares her powerful career break and sabbatical journey after nearly two decades working in humanitarian crisis response with the UN and Red Cross. After years in high-intensity humanitarian environments, Ana chose to step back and take a sabbatical because she needed space to re-evaluate what impact meant for her next chapter. We explore what motivates someone to pause a mission-driven career, how to plan a meaningful sabbatical, and what happens when returning to work doesn’t unfold as expected. Ana shares how volunteering in animal welfare became a way to prototype future career possibilities, how she mapped out different professional pathways during her break, and why stepping away ultimately reshaped her understanding of freedom, identity and long-term impact. We dive into:What sparked her decision to take a career break after years in humanitarian workHow she created a visual “career map” during her sabbaticalUsing volunteering as a low-risk way to test a potential career changeNavigating the uncertainty of returning to work post-sabbaticalWhat happens when a career transition doesn’t go to planRedefining professional identity beyond titles and organisationsWhy her sabbatical reshaped her view of freedom, exploration and impactTimestampsTo follow Other episodes you may enjoy: Career Break to Career Change: How Steve Duke Pivoted and Rediscovered Joy at WorkHow Life-Changing Sabbaticals and Career Breaks Helped Host Bex Transition from Corporate to CoachingGet in touch: If you are interested in sharing your sabbatical story, we would love to hear from you.
