“I’ve become one of those people who, when someone shows competence in an area, I just switch off my brain and let them do all the thinking” this is me to a T Karin! I have so many other things I need to be thinking about or observing that whoever is taking the lead when they’re with me, I just turn the volume down on me needing to be alert 😂

Your train stories are a delight, thank you and I have enjoyed every paragraph in this here love letter 💌

I'm so glad you enjoyed the stories Penny. And yes, I think that being able to be led feels like such a relief. It's also a huge privilege. And I think a part of me feels that I have so often granted other people the privilege of being able to tune out and float along (especially in work environments), that I now want to be granted the same luxury sometimes.
