"True stability wasn’t just about financial security—it was about self-trust" Love this bit! It's truly powerful, as you describe, one of the problems people find when trying to pursue their dreams is that at the beginning, it's difficult and scary. But deep down, the fear in reality is not about money in your bank account, it's about how you feel about yourself. Thanks for writing your post, love to see there are more people like us in the world😉

Happy to have found your Meaningul Work post! Thank you for sharing your story!!! feeling that "relief, freedom, and excitement" when thinking about leaving a job that looked perfect on paper but just didn’t feel right is very relatable… but SO daunting. It’s lovely to read how you’ve shifted from fearing financial instability to trusting yourself :) And defining success for ourselves is incredibly important… focusing on mental, emotional, and spiritual health feels so much more fulfilling than anything external.

Wish you the best of all!🤗
