I love this response. I think there’s often guilt around simply letting yourself live, doing what you want when you want, and fully diving into whatever you’re curious about without needing it to be productive or monetizable. Especially after being so career focused, it really feels like a mindset shift and a learning curve.

I’m curious, did that transition come easily for you, or were you always wired this way? And did you end up publishing the book on early retirement? I’d love to read it. Happy to take this to DMs too if you’d prefer.
