My wife and I have a tradition: we open the best bottle we have and raise our glasses when things are difficult. It’s our way of saying ‘this too shall pass’.
And we just made a difficult decision. I will pause my career as a marketing consultant to fully explore my creative dreams as a storyteller, writer and podcaster.
We’ll take a pretty big hit financially, but are convinced this is the best way forward to be happy, and be happy together.
When I asked my wife why on earth she was willing to do this for me, she shared this quote:
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” (Maya Angelou)
Me staying home to write and record will give my wife more flexibility to pursue her own career in marketing. She will have to worry less about late evenings or meetings abroad.
It’s all very scary and exciting at the same time. Toasting to a new beginning by the river!
