A very personal account of the extreme feelings that lead me to quit my full time / part time jobs, and commit to working for myself. This is a continuation of my series on wayfinding (my series of jumps into the void), featuring Jump #2: from aspiring writer with a 9-5 job — to deciding to become an entrepreneur. I’ll explore these topics: the ever-present feeling of wasting my life life as a recovering good asian daughter / repressed creative / secret obscurus the idea of energetic reciprocity as an embodied feeling the notion that in order to feel safe, you must compromise yourself an infinite earning potential as a metaphor for expansion the desire to give 100% to the work that belonged to me escaping the cycle of job samsara My “one way road” was more like a deeply anxiety-provoking, messy, uncertain, tangled wandering in the dark. but I’ll explain why it was (and still is) worth every second. -- read the ⁠text⁠⁠ for this podcast episode visit me on my ⁠⁠website-world⁠⁠ sign up for ⁠⁠my weekly newsletter⁠⁠
