We are excited to revisit one of our most popular episodes and a topic we love, Deprogramming from the Corporate Mindset. How fun to share it with our spooky October theme song as well.

When Michelle left her sales job, she knew she wanted to take some time off and eventually start more creative projects. Her days felt fulfilling and in alignment, she was living at home, got to spend time with her parents and launch this podcast with Sammie. However, she felt so guilty for months because she still thought a productive day had to fit within a 40 hour work week or within the 9-5 workday.

It’s funny to reflect on that now. Michelle needed a mental break but refused to give it to herself. We've realized this is common for people who leave the traditional workplace for any reason. It’s easy to feel guilty if we aren’t as productive as we think we would be if we were in an office.

When we launched this episode initially, Sammie was still working her PA job in our small town and didn’t have a sabbatical on her radar. What a difference a few months makes! We found revisiting this episode was a great reminder to us to enjoy the present moment. Whether or not we’re working a full time job, our value is not defined by our work identity.
