Four years ago, I left a thirty-year career without a plan. Heart-thumping excitement quickly collided with self-doubt.
For a long time, I wove a story about myself, threaded with expectations—I should, I must, I can’t. Even with the freedom to rewrite my next chapter, I found that story difficult to unravel.
What I thought I needed was to figure out what I might have been. What I’ve learned since is that it’s better to look forward.
This newsletter is me working on that realization, sharing what I’ve learned and continue to learn from my experiences, as well as information from actual experts, along with books, and food, and Vermont-stuff, and cats and dogs, and laughs from this midlife woman’s point of view.
