This week on Prime Time, we dive into the art of taking a midlife sabbatical with Mel Pike. At 53, Mel took extended leave from her public service role and spent five months living in Thailand, using the time to decompress and rediscover what she wanted from the next stage of her life. We’ll explore her entire journey, from how she saved for it to what she did during her stay. 

You can find Mel's book, 'Doing Life Differently in Thailand' here:  https://amzn.to/3yWawmo
