Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you quit your 9-5 to pursue your dreams?

Well I've done it, and things are not exactly as I imagined...In this chatty vlog, I share a few days in my life after quitting my 9-5 job in tech. Things seem to be going great on my new career as a content creator. However, recently growth on YouTube has slowed, and I started to feel like...I'm not enough.

I open up about the loneliness and anxiety I feel after leaving corporate, share my journey of uncovering the roots of these feelings through therapy, and finally learning to live by what I love, not what I fear.

I hope this offers you a virtual escape from 9-5, and lifts you up if you are also feeling down:)

xx,
Evelyn
