The Dream That Made Me Quit — and What My MMC Said

from The Viv Lela Show · host Vivian Lee-Lauss

The dream that made the decision. A couple of months ago, I walked away from my corporate exec career to write my debut novel. I made the decision based on a dream I had the night before I pulled the plug.This is the story of that week — the one where everythinghappened at once. I’d just finished my third draft and was on the verge of sending it to professional beta readers. And in that exact same week, three headhunters came for me with VP offers, one of which was an expat post in Singapore. Every corporate dream I’d worked over a decade for, suddenly on the table. The night before I decided, I had a dream. And by the time I'd woken up, I'd made my decision. This is the most personal, most emotional story of my whole journey. It’s also the one that tells you the most about who I am — and what you can expect when youread Erastasis. This episode is a companion to my origin story — how I worked for free at 20, quit my dream job at 25, and walked away again at 35. Watch that one next. Call of Matter — Book 1 of the Erastasis series. February 2027.
