Ready to say 'screw it'? Been there, done that. Can highly recommend.
I'm Melissa — a GenX woman helping other GenX women get out of the same old, same old. Stop counting the days until retirement (if that's even a thing anymore). There's a way to actually live right now, and we're too cool to be drowned out at this point.

so. is this it?
You did everything right. Built the career. Held it together for everyone else. Took on all of it without complaining (well, not too much). And then one day you're in the grocery store mindlessly bopping along to The Cure and it just....hits you. Wait. Is this it? No freakin' way this is it!
That feeling isn't a crisis. It's not burnout. It's not ingratitude. It's you, finally telling yourself the truth.
The restlessness that won't quit
The life that looks completely fine from the outside
The thing you keep almost doing
Having the 'Sunday night dreads'
Done holding your tongue
The quiet rage at being sold a lie
you know the feeling.
yeah. we should to talk.

About Melissa
I'm not theorising
about bold moves.
I'm living them.
20+ years in corporate travel management. Three international relocations. Currently mid-move to the Netherlands — with my wife Amy, and our dogs who have no idea what's getting ready to happen but they are seriously gonna love it! I kept my career and built IntentionallyDutch alongside it. I didn't blow everything up.
I expanded.
