Congratulations on being published in such an impactful and needed publication! I follow you for the person you are and your writing lets me know you better. Defining ourselves by our work (usually the paid work) is a shaming thing we do to ourselves. Thanks for calling it out to break that spell. It is fundamentally unhealthy. Hope you are keeping up the self-care regime. I like how you said that the prospect of working just 40 hours per week was exciting!
