You're wiser and more mature than you were in your youth, more comfortable in your skin and you know what you like. Sure, you may not have quite as much energy as you once did. But you're still having a whole lot of fun - it's just that your definition of fun has changed over time.

Many of the people I work with as a burnout coach tell themselves a golden-cage story. On paper, their jobs and lives might look good.

The story they tell themselves goes like this: It would be reckless, even irresponsible, to leave this job.

I have a lot of respect for Morgan, so was disappointed to hear him say this: Everyone I know who retired early has gone back to work. My experience has been almost the exact opposite of Morgan's. I know plenty early retirees and almost none have gone back to work. Those that have went back to work on interesting projects on their own terms. But also, I live in a bubble.

I visited New York City probably 100 times before moving here. Growing up in a nearby suburb from ages 2 to 10, my family took me into the big city every month or so. Even then, I knew it was eventually where I wanted to live. By 2006, we had moved to a Texas suburb outside Dallas, still visiting the Big Apple multiple times each year. In 2013, I moved to Austin for college and remained there until I relocated to NYC in 2019 to pursue a career in media.
