I couldn’t stop crying. As a girl who grew up reading Atoosa’s magazines and now, at 31, feeling the burn out she describes feeling somewhat responsible for. I’m at an uncertain crossroads, deciding between the perpetuation of burnout in the pursuit of specialness, or to reset my compass to head towards my own due-north. I admire Atoosa’s honesty, self-awareness, and insights. She fully acknowledges that “having it all” doesn’t mean sustainable work-life balances or investing in safe care. Her courage to speak on this so honestly is admirable. I feel like I was listening to my own inner monologue. Thank you, Atoosa.
Brilliant and eloquent! Atoosa, I've admired your talent and tenacity from back in the day and applaud your courage in sharing your raw story. Looking forward to seeing what you do---check that, dance in this reflection, restoration, and growth journey of life--next! ❤
What’s the answer then… don’t “have it all” have kids younger? Marry the right one not jus great on paper and Don’t get divorced? Who knows!? Come across women like this all the time, myself included, who push push push, you may have retired but you’d have pushed the house the Hamptons the schools the activities, the gym, the hobbies what the kids do etc etc etc it never bloody ends. Now your walking round the park with Dave most likely moaning about your ex husband and being single. Maybe we jus need to slow down, make life simpler, be nicer to people, not be “influencing” and not need so much to satisfy us and stop pushing. But it’s hard.

Happy I got to grow up on CosmoGirl. "Hustle values" aside, I think it was a net-good influence. And happy you're finding your peace ✌️
