Thanks so much for this. I really needed to hear it. As soon as I'm back on my feet with a new job, I'll subscribe, I promise. :) I'm so glad that you listened to your heart.
Thanks so much for your honesty here, Katie. Holding space for your own grief is deeply powerful, especially in this landscape of self-denial and overwork, and I'm inspired by your choice! If everyone honored their own needs in this way, I believe we'd live in a kinder, more compassionate and interconnected society.
I also left my successful corporate career at the end of 2017, and while it was for very different reasons on the surface, it was essentially the same: To listen to myself. Though I've also struggled since in some traditional, "success"-related ways, I've also grown creatively and found a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment.
Thanks for the camaraderie on that -- it was validating to hear it is working out, for lack of a better word, for someone else -- and for sharing your story here.
Thank you for this Katie! This letter helps me a lot!It reminds me that it's not so lonely outside of my head and there are/have been others in a similar situation too.

it about duality: you can't know who you are until you know who you aren't
