This is a lil quick life update.

I’m always torn between sharing all these details on the internet for literally anyone to see and being a private person that just shares select things on socials.

But!!

I’m so proud of myself for reaching this moment in my life, and I thought it would be a good time to share.

Today is the last day at my full-time job.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at my “big girl” job, however, I recently had the opportunity to try out working for myself, and it just felt like the right time to do it.

I honestly never knew this could be a reality. I feel like I looked at it like it was a goal, but it was a goal that was way in the future.

I never knew that I had the power to actually DO it . But here we are. Doing the damn thing.

A completely new lifestyle.

And to say I am terrified would be an understatement. I’ve never done this before. Although I have friends and mentors in this space, I’ve never experienced this for myself. And I’m concerned about the uncertainties that will follow me if I live a freelance lifestyle.

But also why not??

Life is uncertain.

While we can try and be prepared for what life throws us, we truly never know, so why not spend time doing what we want?

To a certain point, you are in control of you life, and you can make crazy decisions that completely alter the path of your life. While I have thought through this choice very thoroughly, it also needed a little bit of good old intuition and gut feeling. And boy, does it feel good to shout it from the metaphorical rooftops.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of you (thanks for making it this far…), including my family and friends, as well as my partner, Nic, who has been the most amazing person to have alongside me.

Cheers to a new chapter. To new places and new experiences. To embracing the chaos ❤

Your now full-time nacforadventurer,
