Entry 6

Today I learned that I can get comfortable very quickly.

I've always felt that this is actually my super power and lately it's been majorly challenged by.

• I'm working in a high risk, equity only startup that's running super low on runway, is on the cusp of getting some major traction (more on this later)

• I'm a fresh empty-nester, both of the amazing kids that have filled my a huge part of my life with joy (and responsibilities) are out of the house this semester

• I'm going through a challenging time with my wife and have moved out of the house for two months

Ok, a lot of this is more dramatic than it sounds and some of it has real drama. My wife and I jointly came up with the 2 months in different houses plan and in the end the plan came from a place of love, though the road to find that loving place was admittedly pretty rocky, we did find it.

She's called it 'time for me to go on my Hero's Journey' and for her it seems like a time to go into chrysalis mode as she rediscovers who she is without the clinical career (she decided to retire early for the sake of her health) and with the freedom and openness to truly express herself more honestly.

Ok, with this one I got pulled into other tasks before I could finish, just going to publish it as there's a lot of context here and try for another post tonight.
