We romanticize big life changes—quitting the job, moving to the
dream city, chasing the thing we’ve always wanted. But big
changes have big side effects. And if you don’t see them coming,
they might just send you running back to the life you were trying
to leave behind. In this episode, we’re breaking down six
warnings I wish someone had told me before I changed everything.
If you’re craving a big shift, let’s make sure you’re ready for
it.
