From Tess Vigeland, who left Weekend Marketplace on NPR without another job lined up.

She's a young woman (32), and she didn't E-R, but much of what she says would apply.

How do I get back to remarkable?
The ONLY way… is by redefining it.
And I think this is an exercise that’s going to take some time. We all know we’re not supposed to define ourselves, and our success, by money, by page views, by Twitter followers, by fan mail, by audience size. But if you have a job, it does define you in many ways. You spend a good chunk of your day at that job – whether that’s at home or in an office or out in the field. Your lifestyle is sometimes determined by how much that job compensates you. I’m on track right now to make one third of what I made last year. One third. I know that doesn’t define me… but it does contribute to how I see my own value. I like what money allows me to do in my life.
So I need to redefine what success means to me...
