Backstory

In January 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I caught it early, went through treatment, and am now fully recovered and cancer-free. But I am forever changed. In the wake of my diagnosis I spent a lot of time thinking about what matters to me and how I want to spend the rest of my time on earth. I realized that I've been stuck in rut for decades, focused on building a career at the expense of building a life. In June I quit my job, rented out my house, and decided to travel the world with my new boyfriend. I don't know where it will take me or when it will end but for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Some might call this a midlife crisis. I prefer to think of it as my second chapter.
