Sarah Hart was several years into a successful advertising career when the quiet voice in her head — not to mention the ants in her pants — became too much to ignore. She quit her job to embark on what she calls “a journey toward purpose”, and since then she’s been documenting her experiences on her blog, F The Desk. This week, Sarah joins us on location on Sean and Eli’s back patio to talk about the ups and downs of “funemployment”, and getting in touch with what truly matters to us.

We mention:

Sarah’s post about digging up memorabilia from her days as a “real life Lisa Simpson”

The Oatmeal on Why working at home is both awesome and horrible

Barbara Baron’s quote, mentioned in this post from Tiny Buddha: “Don’t wait for your feelings to change to take the action. Take the action and your feelings will change.”

attentionsurpluspodcast:

Last week’s talk with Lisa Charleyboy inspired us to try an activity she mentioned: making a collage of images representing things we’d like to have or pursue in the future. We spent an hour or so before this week’s show with some good friends, some bristol board and a stack of magazines, cutting and pasting photos to produce a sort of mood board for our lives. On the episode, Sean and Eric discuss what they learned from the process and the end results.

I’m standing in Yonge station listening to Mumford and Sons. I’m crying. And watching people. No. Seeing people. Just seeing souls. Feeling the breeze. I have no job. Only my real work remains. I am stripped of my pretensions. And yet I stand unseen and truly naked as the people stagger past. “awake my soul. You were Made to meet your maker” in my ears.
