I’ve been in the awkward “pulling back” phase of my slingshot for the last 2 years, so I really appreciate this outlook. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead of me, even if the vision is still pretty blurry right now.

Same here, except it's been going on for almost three years. It's difficult not to feel like a failure sometimes, so I love the analogy.

It's definitely a scary phase to be in, but I've tried to focus on the positives in the meantime! I've gotten to know myself so much better throughout this process.

I like this idea of thinking of work as a sling shot. Carrer reinvention is almost unavoidable, the way things stand; for me, it often feels like going backward
