It’s been one month since I left the company I co-founded after 8 years. Instead of “retiring” for a while, I found myself rushing straight back into building the next thing—overwhelmed, excited, exhausted.
This episode is me reflecting on the sparkles, the struggles, and the lessons from my first month of “funemployment.”

💡 Themes I explore:
“Walkway, not runway.” Slowing down the pace of creation.
“Alignment over achievement.” Building from joy instead of fear.
“New software, old hardware.” How old habits sneak into new projects.
“Comfortable being overwhelmed.” Why chaos feels safer than rest.
“Microdosing enoughness.” Practicing small moments of safety and presence.
“I don’t need to take time off. I get to.” Redefining work and play.

I share what I’m learning through coaching, journaling, and experimenting with video as a new practice. This isn’t a neat, polished success story—it’s a real-time reflection on unlearning scarcity, reshaping creativity, and trying to build a nourishing life I don’t want to escape from.
If you’re also navigating transition, burnout, or the tension between sparkle and overwhelm, I hope this speaks to you.
