6 months on…

It’s hard to know where to begin as there’s been so much that has happened since I sat down to share an update but here we go…

Tomorrow marks 6 months since my last day as a corporate lawyer.

I’m a much happier, relaxed version of Amy than I was 6 months ago and I wouldn’t change that part of my story at all however, I’ve recently realised that just because I left behind the hustle culture and environment of corporate life, doesn’t mean it left me immediately.

After 2 weeks completely off work, I had felt more “myself” than I had in years. I had felt refreshed and ready to start on the next chapter of my life, which reflected my past MO: highly-driven, Type A high-achiever (and perhaps always needing to prove myself). Taking bold action was what I needed to do at the time. Taking further time to rest at that moment in time would have probably caused more anxiousness and restlessness in my spirit.
