If Marcella loses her dream job, she’s gonna need a new one. Because she needs money to pay the bills. That’s the “job” part of “dream job.” Scientists often say “I don’t care about the money, I just want to do what I love,” but what do you do when the London rent comes due? It’s a dream job, not a dream hobby. The “dream” part matters, but unless you’re independently wealthy, the “job” part does too.
And that’s why this kind of loss is devastating & destabilizing— you’re not just losing a dream, you’re losing the mechanism by which you feed yourself. It’s a double loss. And in this session, we figure out what to do about that, practically & emotionally.
