Well this really hit me right where I live. Gah. How DO I define myself not by my work? 🤔

I was just thinking how nice it would be to receive a newsletter from you the other day. Thanks for the deep dive!

So grateful to you for this. As a therapist and as a person with a crazy, unrealistic narrative of my own need for success, I thank you. The hustle is a lie but my God it is enticing.....and yet I am filled with unhappiness. I have overworked in my field during the pandemic and now I am struggling and trying to work out what I really need. You have helped me in this daunting endeavour. This is me and this IS the dawn of a new damn day!!!

Bloody hell this hit me like a truck - I’ve felt exactly the same since the start of the pandemic (but also felt guilty because, y’know, I hustle therefore I am etc). Thank you so much for writing this Anne, and here’s to some calmer times. Glad you’re back x

Anne, this is great. I'm sorry it's taken a bunch of awful stuff to start figuring out what truly makes you happy, but the important thing is that you realized it. Also commuting like crazy is soul-destroying. xo
