Doing OK. Haven't landed on my feet yet, career wise, after quitting the Academy. But wow. My stress is way down. Joy way up. Time in the present with my family also way up. Working on my little slice of substack and podcasting has been more fun than money, which is fine for me at the moment.

I an lucky to have saved and have a supporting partner in all of this. So let me be clear that a reset is possible only because of that.
