Notes

11 May 2022

Christina’s job in the maritime industry allowed her to travel the world.

She met people from a wide range of backgrounds, from the sailors on the ships to the board of directors.

But it wasn’t enough.

Taking a step back during lockdown, she examined her relationship with work, and discovered that her strengths and values were the complete opposite of the role she was working in.

So she renegotiated her position with her employer and wrote her own job description.

Now she’s pursuing financial independence and taking a 3-month sabbatical to work on her side hustle.

You can follow Christina on Instagram @yuppieonfire, where she creates beautifully clear posts about Financial Independence.
