I can’t believe I am finally sharing this news! After many long months of weighing the pros and cons, I have officially decided to leave my corporate job!
You may be thinking to yourself, “didn’t you just start this job?” and the answer is sort of. After nearly 4 years at the same company I made the jump in December of 2023 and started with a new company in an entirely new role in January of 2024.
While I did learn a lot in the past 9 months, the biggest thing I learned was that it wasn’t the right fit for me and that is okay! I feel so blessed to be in a position where I was able to step away without any real plan to return to the corporate world.
Something not many people know is that for the past several months I have not only been teaching pilates outside of my 8-5 but I have also been helping to run the operations for the studio. My days were pretty jam packed! Each day went one of two ways. I either woke up and had some coffee before heading out the door for the office at 7:30am, sitting at my desk all day and then racing home to either teach a pilates class or take a pilates class. I would get home around 7pm and then making dinner and finishing up my day answering emails for the studio before hopping in the shower and heading to bed. Or I would wake up extra early, teach a 6am class then race home to get ready for work, head into the office, work all day before heading home to take a pilates class, still getting home just after 7pm, making dinner and then finishing up emails before bed. Needless to say, I can hardly wait to work just one job!
For now, my new normal is spending time with family and teaching Pilates. I am so excited about this next chapter and I truly can’t wait to share more with you!
