Minisode 5: We Were On A Break

Reflecting on my one-year breakiversary.

Transcript

Hi Friends,

This week is a special one for me: it marks one year from my last day of work. Happy breakiversary to me! 🎉

As I was reaching this big milestone, my conditioned corporate brain was screaming “We need to do a post-mortem! A retrospective!” So, I did. I spent some time asking myself questions and reflecting on my year of reflections (I know, how meta).

In this special minisode, I reflect on a year filled with self-discovery, creativity, and growth. From making new friends and starting this podcast to running races and throwing themed parties, it's been an adventure! I also talk about the struggles—like feeling guilty for not being 'productive'—and how I've learned to embrace the break. Tune in for a heartfelt look back, and some advice on how you can check in with yourself and find what truly makes you happy.

Thank you for listening to this podcast, it means so much.

Cheers,
M

Sh*t I Just Quit My Job

Ever stood on the edge of a big decision, wondering if it's the right move? If you've ever wondered, "Is this it?" while gazing at your daily grind, you're not alone. After making it to the top of the company I had worked at for eleven years, I took a leap, and all I could say was, "Sh*t, I just quit my job!" The future's hazy, but many have faced the same uncertainty and come out stronger. We usually hear about their successes after the leap, but what about the messy middle? How'd they find the courage? What were their fears? What would they do differently? And how did they discover what they really wanted? Each week, I'll share stories of people who've taken big leaps, and I'll talk about my own journey. Join us as we explore change, resilience, and finding fulfillment in the unknown. "Sht I Just Quit My Job" is your guide to embracing the messy middle and discovering your potential beyond uncertainty.
