I resembled your story! At 51, I gave up an 80-hour per week lucrative Silicon Valley consulting job in order to put some balance in my life -- physical, mental and social. I didn't have enough money for early retirement in California, and a series of synchronistic events led me to Ajijic, Mexico in 1996 where I've lived for 30 year, reinventing myself more than once. I now have balance, purpose, passion and a new community. I am also self-unemployed! I say hooray that you found your joy, too.

What a great story Karen - thank you so much for sharing that. You are a real inspiration to so many young people struggling to re-invetnt themselves around their thirties. Would love to share your story on our substack more prominently - would you be up for sharing it?
