Landing My Dream Job(s)
How is it already Thursday?? Scratch that – how is it already JULY??? Who has work off tomorrow for the 4th of July? If you do I hope you are having a great “Friday”!
Today I’d like to dive into a post that I promised you guys two weeks ago – landing my dream job(s)! {no pics today – just words 🙂 }
As you know – in April Henri and I moved back to California after spending a year with my family in Massachusetts. We loved our time in New England but realized that California really is the place for us. As we were planning for our move back to the Golden State we had a lot career decisions to think through. We were both content with our jobs and the money we were making but neither of us could see ourselves continuing down those paths for the rest of our lives. Our move seemed like the perfect opportunity to take a leap of faith – especially since we’d like to start a family in the next few years and taking career/financial risks won’t be as easy then.
I may share more about Henri’s return to film (!!) sometime in the future but for now let’s talk about leaving accounting to chase my dream job!
When I first put the teaser out there about getting my dream job I never thought that two weeks later I’d be writing a post to tell you about my 2 dream jobs!
As of last week I am officially:
(1) the head coach for a high school cross country team
and
(2) a personal trainer!
As you can imagine, life has been crazy hectic with settling into two new to me careers ON TOP OF 10 ours of class a week. But despite the busy schedule and early, early mornings I am loving every second of it! Spending my days being active and interacting with others [and not sitting alone at a desk] has been a game changer for my attitude and overall happiness.
I’m not sure how much detail I’ll go into about work going forward simply for the privacy of my student-athletes and training clients but I will definitely share bits and pieces along the way!
I can’t wait to share my journey in this transition with all you guys!
HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!
