This week, we welcome guest Madeline Shores. She basically said "eff this" and quit her full-time job of 10 years to focus on herself (because surprise! she was burnt out af). So on her 1-Year Anniversary of Being Jobless, she shares the surprising realities of living without a full-time corporate gig, as well as the financial and emotional aspects of her transition.

Madeline also lays out the true cost of having a job to begin with and all the ways corporate life sucks your soul right out. But pay close attention to this episode because this girl has the kind of boundary-setting skills you'll want to bottle up and keep for yourself.
