Laura Zaccagnini is the owner of IWMLBproject which stands for I Want My Life Back. After burning out in a corporate job, Laura decided that life was too short to be missing precious time with loved ones and decided to start her own business. IWMLBproject helps corporate women in their 30s make the leap from a job that doesn’t fulfill them anymore, into a life they love. When not typing furiously into her laptop, Laura can be found reading Scandi crime novels and eating peanut butter.

I discovered Laura Zacaggnini from the I Want My Life Back Project on Pinterest and I immediately felt like she was a kindred spirit. And I was totally right!! We’re the exact same age, we had similar day jobs, and we quit our day jobs for the same reason!

In this episode we’ll talk about:

  • Why the higher up in the corporate career ladder you go the higher your risk for dissatisfaction.
  • Why she quit her job without having a side hustle in place.
  • The blog she tried to start first before starting the I Want My Life Project and how she discovered it wasn’t the right thing for her.
  • Why she started the I Want My Life Back Project.
  • Her best advice for someone who wants to leave their corporate job, but doesn’t really want a side hustle.
  • How to identify your financial priorities so that you can leave your job.
  • What it was like to leave a high-powered stressful corporate job and take time to decompress, and how she knew it was time to start her blog.
