Anders: I was in a really toxic job at the time working, you know, 50 hour weeks commuting an hour and a half plus each day. And so I think I had this sinking feeling that was like this traditional fire thing is not going to work for me in my situation. Jess: In mid 2018, I actually had a pretty serious mental health crisis where I started having panic attacks and really severe anxiety. Anders: That was really a wake up call for me because I was really, truly unable to work for about six months.Jess: We can't do this in the traditional way. We need to figure out a different approach that will work for us.
