“My work became an act of defiance against the imposing weight of caregiving” - yes!! I totally feel this. Thank you for sharing your journey. So relatable. Love you. ❤️❤️
Jess! From the day I met you, you have impressed me with your smarts and passion. I love this blog because I think soooo many people can/will relate (myself included - who adopted this approach 5 years ago - opting to not work Friday's any longer - and have since left the city for a little "farm"). More of us need to recognize we can do great work, make an impact, AND not burn ourselves out. thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words. And in meeting you I saw how one can be both a lovely human and a talented professional. Thank you for sharing your experience. It helps reinforce what I am trying to be (cause that overachiever in me can be quite pesky!)
This is great, it took me a while to realize it too, you described it very well. After many years in the 'corporate world' my summary is that running a business really requires grade 8 math, decent grammar, and some level of passion. The rest is just overkill. (it's also rare to find someone who still has all three)

Right? I totally felt that. What a change a couple years and kids does eh?
