383 | What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

Most people cling to careers they've outgrown because they fear what comes next — but what if you could test-drive your dream life without burning everything down? Jessica, who previously appeared on episode 229, has spent the past two years doing exactly that. She quit her job to launch a coaching business, and now she and her husband Corey are planning a three-week road trip through Maritime Canada while working remotely. Their story challenges the rigid either/or thinking around financial independence and careers, revealing how concepts like Coast FI and Slow FI can create breathing room to experiment with what you actually want.
