The Backstory S3E2 - I Quit McKinsey So I Could Retire

Описание: What happens when you quit a dream job everyone else would die for? In this episode of The Backstory, I sit down with Alina to discuss her journey from McKinsey London to pursuing her true passions.

We dive into:
🔹 The burnout warning signs your body gives you
🔹 Why curiosity and experimentation are skills you need to cultivate
🔹 How to handle family and societal expectations without losing yourself
🔹 The difference between discipline and devotion
🔹 Why doing one “off-brand” thing a day can change your life
🔹 Structured systems vs. flow — when to follow rules and when to let go

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job you “should” love, or struggled to follow your instincts, this episode is packed with insights, actionable advice, and real-life stories to inspire you to take the leap.
