My Journey: From Burnout to Finding Joy

I’m starting this blog just for fun, as a hobby, a way to relax, a form of therapy… we’ll see where it leads. It’s the year 2026, and we’re living in the age of TikTok, doomscrolling, and a time when blogs like this may have long been considered obsolete. But that’s okay. I’m doing it anyway 😊
So, who am I? What am I?
I am a mother of three children. I am a mother of twins. I am a mother of two boys and one little girl. I am the introverted wife of a hyperactive extrovert. I am the daughter of a mother with narcissistic personality disorder. I am a stubborn woman who decided to stop taking levothyroxine for the rest of her life and succeeded in overcoming hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). I am also a person who gave my all to the corporate world, chasing success, just to find myself completely burnt out at 41, wanting to be nothing. Such state of mind can be a huge opportunity – it made me realize I cannot go on like this anymore and big changes need to happen in my life.
There are many topics I would like to explore. They may seem unrelated, yet everything is connected. I want to reflect on the past, offer a glimpse into our current life as we prepare for our big move to Costa Rica, and at the same time provide useful tips for those who are only now finding themselves in situations similar to the ones I faced years ago.
Perhaps this blog will serve only as my public diary, or perhaps it will become a little place of escape for some of you, dear readers. And who knows? Maybe it will even help some of you in one way or another.
Either way, I’m excited! 😊
Yours,
Csilla
