My dream is to take a real sabbatical but I’m afraid it will be the end of me and the workforce if I do :(

Women already have career penalty from maternity leave, a sabbatical seems worse. Feels like no one would hire me after

I was a healthtech recruiter before and interviewed alot of ppl who took time off of work for a bunch of reasons - taking care of their parents, moving due to their spouses jobs, having a family, and ofc sabbaticals. 

Maybe assholes wouldn't hire you, but anyone would be lucky to have you even after your sabbatical!
