Dear readers, friends
a little update
It’s been three years since I started writing this Substack, and I’ll always be so grateful for how it saved me during a bad bout of burnout. A few years ago, I quit many aspects of my shiny career and life. I’m proud of what I achieved in my twenties, but I can no longer play in that arena—the costs to my mental health became too high. As I write about in The Success Myth, behind the ‘career highs’ of travelling the world and speaking on big stages were some of the loneliest moments of my life. As a dear friend said to me, “Sometimes it sounds like you’ve spent your entire life trying to be an extrovert when you are deeply introverted.”
