i hear you wanna quit your job?

The morning after I quit my job, I opened my laptop and stared at the Notion board I’d made called “my self-employed era.” Instead of feeling free, I felt kinda sick.

No one was going to tell me what to do that day, which sounded nice in theory… until I realised it also meant no one was going to send me money. The direct debit, payday life was over.

I had systems, savings, backup plans. But none of that prepared me for the emotional rollercoaster of going from a guaranteed income to complete uncertainty. That shift can’t be journaled away. It needs a new way of thinking about money entirely, and we’re going to talk about it.

In this issue:

• The first thing I had to unlearn was this:

• The mistake I made, and how I fixed it

• What I’d do differently if I had to quit again
