As somebody who is also just discovering (or rediscovering) their voice, I have been so amazed by substack and the inspiration I keep getting in knowing that others are here too, just showing up for themselves.

Bravo and thank you for sharing your journey!

Lovely read - though the bit about recovering high achievers hit close to home!

Loved this! So beautifully written. I’m from the UK too but am currently travelling around Europe after quitting my job, and in doing so, I’m trying to lean into Substack to ensure I fall back into my love for writing as I go, so I’m very on board with this motto of writing for yourself! Nothing beats writing in your own voice. I’ll have to check out more of your writing 🫶🏻

Thank you! We have a big itinerary but some highlights I’m particularly looking forward to are various places in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Norway 😊

Proud of you! You did it! (And I, selfishly, can't wait to come stay...)
