I just came across this - and “it me”! Redundancy is the best thing that’s happened to me. I’d entirely lost myself through burnout and desperately wanted to quit but didn’t know how to cope with what came next. Then the choice was made for me - and gave me the money to have space to recover and figure it out. Currently sat in Costa Rica where I’ve been for three weeks, all on gardening leave pay as I start to think “what next”. Great advice in here for navigating the next stage - thank you!
oh my goodness, COSTA RICA! how bloody wonderful. massive congratulations to you – what an amazing moment you've now got to figure out what's next. that payout is such a gift. enjoy every last moment of time and thinking space it buys you!
I really enjoyed reading this, and find some parallels here with my own story (not redundancy, but deciding enough was enough and leaving my job). I’ve recently started a podcast about women who have made a career change to allow them to live and work more creatively. Might you be interested/willing to be interviewed?
