Listen Later

The first episode is about That One Time I Quit My Job To Travel In episode one Garland reflects on leaving a stable post-college recruiting job at a San Francisco law firm after feeling a growing heaviness in Garland's chest and questioning a monotonous future, despite having a supportive boss and a full life outside work. Wanting travel and self-discovery after years of nonstop school and work, Garland quits and goes to Belize initially planning to volunteer, but briefly consults for family, earning enough to live on before volunteering at an all-girls alternative school. There Garland teaches health, PE/dance, soccer, and career readiness, forms lasting friendships, and gains deeper cultural understanding, identity, and confidence. Garland urges viewers to listen to physical warning signs, take leaps of faith, and share their own "jump before ready" moments. 00:00 Belize or Bust Intro 00:07 Soul Searching After College 00:42 First Job and Mentorship 02:10 Burnout and Body Signals 04:27 Choosing Travel to Belize 05:16 Family Reactions and Leap 07:20 Unexpected Work Opportunity 08:43 Volunteering at Girls School 12:02 Identity and Cultural Lessons 13:53 Listen to Your Body 14:55 Leap of Faith Invitation 16:07 Closing Thanks ✨ Book a confidential conversation/coaching call if you're ready to take the leap: https://tinyurl.com/3vy9vbs5 💌 Subscribe to the newsletter for reflections, resources, and future series: https://tinyurl.com/5yvxmdmz 🔔 Subscribe to the channel and share with someone who may need this too.
