I love all the golden nuggets Kaitlyn shared but this one is my favorite.

"My current lifestyle is simple. I don’t have many things, and I have embraced a slower pace of life. Coming from the corporate world, it was tough (and still is, at times) to trust the slow life and to learn how to push less. I’ve learned to live more cyclically, in alignment with my own natural ebbs and flows, which has been challenging and equally as rewarding. "

I am getting to this place; the final check would be leaving corporate life. It is taking longer than anticipated, but I will get there.

Thank you for putting this together, Sophie, and for recommending my pub. I hope you are having an amazing week.

Thank you for sharing, Neela. You will get there in your own time! It's hard to pull away from that life and sense of security. Keep going 💃💃💃

Nice to hear Kaitlyn's story - from a fellow immigrant who went on a year overseas and 18 years later hasn't made it home 🙃

Wow!! I didn't know this about you. Where are you from, and where have you found your home, Dr Vicki? I'm so curious.
