Recover from a decade of professional progress (and a decent amount of burnout) by reprioritizing non-work aspects of our life that matter to us. Regularly working 50-80 hour weeks is often what it takes to get ahead, but it means giving up many other things you love. Our objective is to spend a year reprioritizing and recharging, better positioning us to find balance when we return to the corporate world.

The traditional rationale of working tirelessly to save money and retire at 65 didn't quite sit right with us. While both deeply passionate about making an impact through our professional work, we remain highly aware that our physical and emotional health is far from a guarantee. It's a privilege we intend to take full advantage of while we can still travel, huck, climb, ski, and paddle (nearly) anything we can set our minds to! 

Although this lifestyle choice is far from the norm, we hope our story gives other recovering professionals the courage to temporarily step off the corporate ladder and send it!
