'At 37, I was burned out.' - deniserehrig
had turned out better than I’d ever imagined. I’d moved to New York at 21, landing an entry-level job at CNBC at the height of the tech bubble. I worked my way up to a producer position, then made the jump to network news as a senior producer for, and later Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, and was part of the team that took the show to number one. For eight years, every morning, my alarm went off at 3 a.m. so that I could be in the studio by 4 a.m.
So that night, when he asked, “Should we go travel?” I didn’t hesitate. I pictured a year of uninterrupted dates and going to sleep at the same time., and my job hadn’t ended. I didn’t need to find myself. There was no crisis , but I knew that a preemptive strike was needed. A pause for pause’s sake. It wasn’t so much an epiphany as that internal voice, telling me this was the right thing to do.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I decided I’d be back to work within a month of arriving home, and it was go time. Reality had other plans, and I did not start a job that month or for the rest of that spring. Looking back, it was the universe telling me we weren't ready. After 13 months away, we were shell-shocked to be back home. We sat on our newly moved-in sofa and stared at each other. Big grocery stores were jarring. We didn’t want to see friends. It felt like depression.
