Good morning! In today’s newsletter, I share my thoughts on career, ambition, burnout, and my experience building something at the height of “millennial girlboss culture.” Sharing personal stuff online can feel nervewracking (cut to me laying wide awake in bed at 5am this morning!!) but I was drawn to write today’s post simply because it’s all I could think about these past few months while I took an extended break from work this year. I think the piece will also give context on *why* I took time off: there was a lot of untangling to do (and mistakes to be made, lol, which I talk about in the piece too). Would love to hear your thoughts and if you’re chewing on similar stuff right now. You can read it at downtimenewsletter.com 🛜 (Coming up next: a chat with @rainesford_stauffer who just wrote an incredible book on ambition, plus a list of resources that helped me.)
