What would you be doing?
Hi FGB'ers! During this time of reflection and doing things I would not normally do, I have been asking myself different questions to find out what my passion is and what I want to accomplish in this phase of my life. Maybe someone can relate to what I am going through. For me it all comes down to what makes me feel complete as a human being. So I pose this question to you, if you didn't have to have a job, how would you choose to fill those hours?

I too am the sole breadwinner of my family, and really cannot choose to leave, but if I lost my job, I would definitely work more on my tarot reading (which I do more as a side passion, not really a hustle). I am not sure if I would want to make it into a career. I'm also passionate about writing, but rarely find the time. I would also paint and craft more, and focus on my kids.

That sounds wonderful. Side hustle can become full time hustles. I am the main breadwinner, so that's why I'm looking for a job and also thinking about what I would rather be doing. Continued success Gail!

I sincerely love my job and my field, but as the main breadwinner of my household I sometimes feel that if I disengage in any way, even taking a personal day, I could jeopardize our way of life. If I could spend free time pursuing other passions, I would use it to complete yoga teacher training.

In a perfect world I think we would all be pursuing our passions, but the cares of this life take precedence. So we must balance work and life and find a way to enjoy both. I've found that during this time that we must not lose track of who we are as women and what we are passionate about.
