I suffered my second work concussion and have been out of work for months. This post isn’t about the workman’s compensation although that has been nightmare (don’t worry, I have a lawyer).
But this is my first time since I was 14 years old not working. Man, was I stuck in the hustle!!! I was in a field notoriously terrible for work/life balance, and my specific role within it was dangerous as well.
Now, I have to unlearn. I have to figure out how to live out my values without relying on a career to fulfill me. I want to know what it means to have a life
Any good starting points, resources like books or podcasts, pieces of advice on how to do this?
I’m considering working part time, starting my own business, staying home to start a family, etc. luckily my partner can support our financial needs and enjoys his job, but the dream would still be to retire early to a small homestead farm.
