I really appreciate you sharing this! One, things go wrong, even when you’re on a sabbatical. Sometimes I think the universe does it on purpose but that’s a new working theory. Two, the identity crisis I’m also starting to think is normal. I had made the decision to actively not interview when I left corporate, which ended up being a good thing because like you said, the job market was hot and I was surprised at how many opportunities came my way. Sometimes with friends who I truly wanted to help, even though I didn’t want to really get back into work. I found myself doing free “consulting” because I’d rather do that for an hour and give them support instead of taking on a whole job. Really interesting to read Claire! I feel like you have a really interesting book on you.

Claire, I absolutely love reading your Stumbling Towards Clarity. I thought I knew all that was going on in your life, since I’m your mom and see you nearly weekly. It’s been a revelation to see into all you were and are experiencing as the amazing woman you are. You also give excellent advice. I love you.
