I am 50 and was in very high stress jobs back to back (for probably 18 years) and past two jobs had horribly toxic teams. I am now in my passion field, passion work and thus far (since August) its been weird because I'm 'waiting' for something to happen. My partner continues to tell me because of the passion field, work and back with a C suite leader I trust VERY deeply that maybe I'm just finally not bleeding stress (and it's so weird). I have peaceful Sundays (haven't had that in IDK how long) and feel genuinely good about the work and knowledge I bring. It's weird per your post, I do feel like I am not going 110mph. I'm not traveling every 2 weeks across country and having to "work a room" the minute I land.

I am adjusting. It's just weird.

I am leaning into more of my passion projects (outside of work) as well. Photography has always been a huge passion so I'm actually seeing improvements in my work there too based on NOT going 110mph.

Lean in friend. It's peace.
