SHOW NOTES

You’ve heard people talk about the American Dream, along with the checklist path to acquiring it. The specifics are likely a little different for most, but generally, it's some version of getting a degree, advanced degree, great job, great house in a great neighborhood, having kids, and more. But what then? Does it bring the happiness that it promises? What happens when that fairytale dream suddenly falls apart? Where’s the updated checklist for what happens then? That’s what happened to me. 
When I was working two part-time jobs to make ends meet while my partner was non-functioning, I remember thinking; what is this all for?  I barely get to see my children when work is crazy, and I come hope to a house full of never-ending jobs and projects. This is NOT my American Dream. 

In today’s episode I’m sharing how I got to that point, and how I pivoted and moved forward towards a life that I am passionate and excited about--where I no longer get Sunday blues.  The path to moving forward contained things I had to say goodbye to in order to say hello to something better. This includes a farewell to:

  • Hustle, grind, repeat culture and the glorification that comes with it. 
  • Being robotic in my work
  • A 9-5 job
  • The belief that you can't have a career you love and earn the money you want. 

Since saying goodbye to that in a way that supports my nervous system, I have been able to open up to so much more Freedom, Peace, Joy, Aliveness, Flexibility with respect to my children, family travel, and more.

Listen in to hear my story of navigating those unforeseen life circumstances and find hope in the fact that if you have the desire to do something different with respect to your career, it's there because it's possible.
