I loved reading this! I recently lost my job and no longer having the stress of my previous job gave me so much relief. Yet now I have the stress of finding a new job, I am hopefully and actually looking forward to what the next day brings!
Thank you so much for reading, Leanna. I'm sorry about the job loss, but I love the attitude you are able to approach it with. I hope you find the right next thing soon, that has you excited for what the next day brings and let's your creativity flow!
I loved this, Emily! The pressure to create a career instead of simply working a job is so prevalent these days, but the former often sucks so much energy out of us that we have little left for creativity. It’s so cool that you made a decision that served your creativity even though it was scary.
Thank you for reading, Adrianna. It sounds like this idea is really aligned with what you're writing about! I just subscribed and look forward to reading your work!
I left a job at a startup because it was killing my creative energy. I still work a "career" job but i'm a much less demanding environment and, like you, recently completed my manuscript after 10 years of trying. What a gift to finally be listening to our own hearts, right?
Thank you so much Petya! It really is such a gift. Big, BIG congratulations on finishing your manuscript!!! That is incredible. Your substack looks amazing, I just subscribed. Thanks for saying hi!
Good for you! This really inspires me.
Thank you for reading, Kate!
