Finding joy on the journey to financial independence
Welcome to a new series on the blog, where I will chronicle my “experiences with experiments” (say that 5 times fast) on my slow FI journey! There will be success stories, and there will be not-so-successful stories. I’m refusing to call them failures, because I believe that there is no such thing as failure when … Continue reading “Experiment Success Alert! Pickleball Edition”
It’s been well over a month now since I started my new job. It’s wild to think that only about 2 months ago, I was agonizing over the decision of whether to change companies and take another full-time job, when my ultimate goal is part-time work. But as I agonized over this decision, I was … Continue reading “Can You Embrace A Slow FI Lifestyle and Still Work Full-Time?”
When I was considering leaving my last job, I agonized over the decision. First, I told myself I’d only leave if the right job came along.

Hello, friends! Well, I’m approaching the last few days of what I’ve been calling my job-switch sabbatical (which you can read more about in some of my recent posts on my Instagram page). I’ve had 3 weeks off in-between jobs, and I’m starting my new job on Monday! In honor of this new start, I … Continue reading “Here’s My Work Manifesto, What’s Yours?”
I feel like recently (and when I say recently, I mean more like the past few years…) the phrase “side hustle” has become VERY popular. All the buzz. But side hustling has never resonated all that much with me. To be honest, it’s mostly because of the word hustle. I, personally, just don’t subscribe. Since … Continue reading “Side Hustle vs Passion Project: Where Do You Land?”
As I shared on Instagram this week, I’m going to be changing jobs! It’s been quite busy around here, but I’m happy to have the decision behind me.
