Why I Wrote This Book
I spent eleven years in a fulfilling career, building a travel business I loved. Then the pandemic closed that chapter and I went back to the corporate world looking for stability. Instead, I found myself losing my identity one compromise at a time until I ended up on a flight home from Paris crying at the prospect of returning to work the next day. That was the moment I knew that something had to change, and it was the birth of this book.
Even after that moment on the plane, I didn’t leave right away. I desperately wanted to quit, but I didn't know how. To be honest, I was afraid. Then the decision was made for me. I was laid off unexpectedly — a forced blessing that spurred me on to completing this book. It's the book that I wish I'd had. I wrote it to help others who are where I was: desperate for change, unsure how to get there, and feeling trapped in work that no longer fits.
