The Line in the Sand

My first blog post. Hello there and thank you for reading! I'm starting this blog to track my journey. I'm both excited and anxious to start this new career, to start this new life, but there will be learning involved. How much learning, I don't yet know (you don't know what you don't know). But, nonetheless, here goes nothin'!

If you have joined my email list, you likely would have learned already that I am a retired chiropractor turned at-home entrepreneur. After 10 years in owning and operating my private chiropractic practice, I burnt out. As my husband likes to say, "the wheels just came off." Looking back in reflection, it was a situation that I really didn't know just how bad things were until they were past the point of no return. I was emotionally drained from the responsibilities required to run a successful wellness practice and no matter how much I grew (or how much money I earned) there didn't seem to be an end in sight. Although I won't get into the details now, for the sake of this blog post, I also found myself coming to the realization that I no long loved what I was doing. Still to this day, I am unsure which came first: did my passion die, resulting in burn out, or did the burn out result in my passion dying? Just as we will never know what came first, the chicken or the egg, I am not sure which came first. Ultimately it doesn't matter, but it's something I have always wondered.
