Taking a Break From Work in My 40s: First Week in Lisbon

Sit next to me on the couch and get comfy. I'm walking you through my photo album from Lisbon. In February 2024, I was burnt out and needed a real break from work, so I traveled: six weeks in Morocco, a month in Valencia, Spain and then a month in Lisbon, Portugal. Lurking in the background, was a fast-changing job market. AI was taking off, and recruiters had gone quiet. I thought I still had time. This is Episode 1 of my Portugal travel series on She's Started Over, where I share career resets, side income and starting over in my 40s. 💬 Have you ever taken a real break from work?
