I have not been on this platform most of the month because most importantly, I became a grandmother AND I'm suddenly employed (PT) and a finalist for 2 majorly upgraded positions (so have been traveling)! I'm having some mixed feelings about returning to real job. I spent the last 4-6 months believing it would never happen. I no longer trust Higher Ed (my field) and truly believed I was supposed to start my own thing (which has been hard for me). Anyone else go through a significant period of unemployment and then go back to work? How did you feel about it (besides relief I suppose). I would love to hear from others.

What's your name? Where in the world are you joining from? What was your former industry or role? What are you hoping to build or explore next?
