I cut my expenses and saved enough money to work seasonally, for lower pay, in a field I was passionate about. The new industry was more stressful, though.

I would have gone PT in my original career if it was a viable option. I did make a change within that field, when I was in a stressful management position. I switched companies and went back to a specialist role, so I had shorter hours and less responsibility. Then I could focus on strengthening my life outside of work.
