Today I’m sharing my experience of taking 18+ months off work to recover from burnout, navigating people projecting their own fear onto me, letting go of rigid views of what a “perfect” next step looks like, and manifesting an aligned marketing job that allowed me to more than double my compensation (vs my previous job). Consider this your inspo to not settle.
