The Ugly Truth About Leaving Corporate (1 Year Later)
from Joy of Missing Out (JOMO)
Both Eric and I are collapsing at the same time. 💀 The grass is always seems greener. Leaving corporate and doing your own thing is sincerely not sunshine and rainbows. Today, we talk about our inner rage, burnout, leadership expectations, being chronically let down, and the impossible transition from IC → manager → founder → creator. You're catching me in a deep spiral from work, hiring, creative overload as a one-woman team. Eric is going through his own burnout, loneliness, and existential crises as a startup founder. But I think we'll somehow get through this. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
