I've spend to many hours being bored and unchallenged at a job so I relate to your story. It's horrible to not have enough challenge - it makes you exhausted. Add some travelling and headache to the pile and it's a matter of time you're body says no.
Love this story and especially how you feel gratitude. We are programmed to fear losing our job and income, but often it's the stepping stone for a much greater and brighter future.
Also curious to your spendings in New York - I hope to visit it one day. It's my bf favourite city in the whole world.
You are so right that startups are volatile - these past few years have been even more volatile compared to normal. Love your mindset and your approach for this period of transition - it may take some time, but I know you'll find an opportunity that is the perfect fit for you. So excited to hear about what that next step may be! Thanks for sharing your story - it can be tough to share but I know there are others who are going through something similar will feel better after reading this.
Loss of reliable income can be extremely traumatic. Happened to us twice last year! I’m glad you’re on the up and up, and have this time to follow your bliss, and are on the other side of the shame that can accompany it.
Hi Maria, I enjoyed reading your latest post! You must be feeling such a mix of emotions, as you mentioned they go from fear to gratitude and anything in between. Many years ago I was made redundant and afterwards I left a job I hated. In the end I decided that I was going to be happier and more fulfilled working for myself. I think you are on the right path, setting up your side business while also applying for jobs, it's going to be fine! In the meantime enjoy your dreamy, snowy walks in Central Park!

Love that! Totally agree, it's a stepping stone!
