Maz on the Move

I’m Britney, the voice behind Maz on the Move.

It’s been a little over a year since the onset of what I’m calling my ‘David Rose level’ existential crisis. It sounds very cliche (because it is), but becoming a mom changed me in ways I didn’t imagine.

I get it, insert eyeroll, but hear me out.

I didn’t expect to not return from maternity leave and put the career I fought so hard for on hold.

I didn’t expect to suffer from post-partum anxiety and depression, and for it to take almost one year (because I was de-lulu) to speak up and ask for help!

Never did I imagine I would reconsider how I wanted to spend my life moving forward and question if I’m being authentic to myself.

It feels like I got distracted and began chasing a life adjacent to my dreams. I’ve spent too long trying to be versions of myself other people want to see. I’ve worked for micro-managers and narcissists who made me question my competency (and sanity), and overtime stifled my creativity and self-esteem.

I’m not sure I’ve ever had the chance to take a step back and figure out my own style, writing tone, interests – essentially my own self.

So, now I’m committed to doing just that.

I’m currently living in New England with my husband (Mark), son (Connor), and two dogs (Bella & Charlie). For the past four years we have been living in VT for Mark’s work, but that project is ending so we’ll be heading back to our hometown in MA before…….drumroll……moving across the country to California!

I’ll be using this space to document our adventures, share travel tips (and finds) and write about I guess whatever I want, for once.

Glad to have you along for the ride!
