Agree with C1. I'm sure you do, but it's been atrophied by your focus on consulting. This weekend I admired one of my roommates from college who, together with his wife tour as a folk music duo. It was a ~50 person concert. As a living, they're close to the ground, but they're healthy, happy, and doing what they love.

But I wonder sometimes what would provide a reasonable surrogate for that feeling. If I used to love cooking, would subscribing to blue apron really do it for me, or not?

I guess I meant passionate enough to "live close to the earth," in order to make it happen. I'm happy being an amateur painter and chef, but at this point in my life (30s) can't give up the time and money to make it full time, nor would I want to.

I'm struggling with imposter syndrome. I'm from a working class background, c.10 years exp in marketing & c.3 years in snr leadership. I'm in an exe leadership team with all men. It's all very fluid. Frequent restructures. Bitching/gossiping at snr level.

I feel like I'm not good enough, dynamic enough, doing enough. I ask open qz, probing for feedback. It all seems positive/constructive. With the toxicity, I don't trust any of it. Does anyone have any suggestions to navigate and overcome IS?

Any thoughts on finance in P&G or Unilever? Some people says they are mainly marketing / brand companies, so finance is less important (but the ceo is a finance person in P&G??). Also, many people say that the job is so boring and repetitive.. Actually, I'm planning to move from consulting, mostly because of work-life balance. I'm sure it's more boring, but I think it's not a bad opportunity. What are your thoughts?

My husband, who had a successful career but is not yet 40, wants to retire and look after our kids while actively investing our money. I enjoy consulting and will gladly keep working.
