It’s by no means perfect but I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished since leaving my corporate job 15 months ago.

The biggest shift is in my mindset. Success when you’re in a 9-5 is getting to work on time, not getting put on a PIP and MAYBE getting a 3% raise. And honestly, getting to keep your job when the economy is feeling shaky.

Defining success when working for yourself is not so simple. For me it includes volunteering at my kid’s school and taking any random sick days to spend cuddling them on the couch but couch cuddles don’t pay the bills!

I’m feeling fulfilled in the ‘soft’ parts but struggling to determine what number would make me feel success in terms of income.

My therapist, also an entrepreneur, told me this week that *I am allowed to succeed in my own way * and I honestly love that for me.

If any of you fellow entrepreneurs have some advice, I could really use it right now. 🙏🏻

1 in 3 women want to quit their jobs. I did it! More than once…I’ve got friends who did too.

This patriarchal system was not designed for women or women in the workplace. It’s too restrictive and structured and honestly, just doesn’t make sense to me.

In my thirties my priorities have changed. Time with my family and peace in my life outrank everything else.

The flexibility I have now has come at a cost but I wholeheartedly believe it’s worth the price.
