I "Rage Quit" My Job & Moved to Guam Mid-Career - With Laura from BJJ Babes P1 | E007


Listen Later

One day at work, 30-something Baltimore-based lawyer Laura finally reached her breaking point. She was fed up with her job, fed up with her life in Baltimore (which wasn‘t going how she wanted), fed up with still being single in her 30s, and fed up with “playing safe” & keeping herself small…


But instead of complaining to her friends like might have in the past, this time she took a surprising step:


She scoured the internet for other attorney jobs, and “rage-applied” to a job opening on the tropical island of Guam. 


Not really expecting to get it, imagine her surprise when she got an email, then an interview, and then the offer: 


She was quitting her job & moving to Guam! Mid-career, in her mid-30s. 


That was just the beginning of the story. In Guam, a completely different Laura began to emerge: 


🌟 One who took risks, instead of playing it safe

🌟 One who cared more about jungle runs & adventure than makeup and hair

🌟 One who did things for fun and adventure, rather than for the ulterior motive of meeting a partner.   

===============================

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:

➜ What life was like as an attorney in Baltimore & what finally pushed her over the edge to leave her comfort zone and take the risk. 


➜ The surprising opportunities that exist in Guam for beginning and mid-career professionals (if you work in a professional field, you might want to check it out!)


➜ What life was like in Guam, and how living there, and how Laura used her new environment to change her personality and step out of her shell. 


And more!

(Stay tuned for the second half of this interview coming up in a few days!)
