I recently made a similar move and I'm scared. I felt stuck at a dead-end job and just let the contract end while I applied to new jobs. Moving and looking forward.

Hey, Stephanie,

The first thing I want to say to you after reading this is: thank you.

Somehow, your message today came to me at exactly the right moment. That crucial moment where I realized I went from loving my work and brand to feeling trapped in it and hating everything I make. I've felt so lost and confused and *afraid* above all, the past few months.

It's always scary to abandon something that works, isn't it? But I think it would be a disservice to us as human beings if we continued to trap ourselves for the sake of keeping up the status quo.

So, I'm cheering you on. I know you can do what you set out to do. Maybe I can, too.

Cheers.

Thanks for sharing, Mimi

It IS scary, though ironically, from what I've seen and experienced, avoiding that fear is also what ends up costing us the most. Cheering you on too!
