Hey, I'm Marie Forlio, and this is the Marie Forlio podcast.

If you want to talk about your business, your life, your health, your relationships, and even more,

I gotta tell you, you are in the right place.

We do it all with humor and heart, so let's dive in. Oh Marie. Can you tell me? Answer please. Oh, baby. Oh baby, baby. Can you help me? Help me. Help me. Hey Marie.

Yeah, Marie. Help me. This Q&A Tuesday question comes from Miss Cynthia and she writes,

Marie, how do I deal with the guilt?

Let me explain.

I've recently shifted my business focus to an area which I have strong skills

and which I greatly enjoy.

During work the other day, I found myself very, very happy.

That stopped me in my tracks and suddenly I was full of guilt.

Whether it came from someone in my family, my nanny, my school teachers,

or just being raised female in the society,

I have a lot of baggage around enjoying my work.

If this new path works out, I could conceivably not only make enough to support myself,

but to allow my overwork, generous, and supportive spouse to shift to a less stressful career

too. I find myself wondering, with so many people in the world forced

many literally to do work they hate just to survive, what gives me a right to pursue work

that feeds me mentally and spiritually.

Please help me get to a positive perspective on this so that I can move forward.

Your fan, Cynthia in Virginia.

Cynthia, this is a beautiful question.
