She Was Done by 40. I Needed to Know How

When she told me that, I knew there had to be more to the story. So we met in Parque de la Madre in Cuenca, Ecuador, where she shared the decisions, mindset shifts, and unexpected moments that led her to a completely different life. Later, she invited me into her home to show me what that life actually looks like today. This conversation isn't just about retiring early or moving abroad. It's about questioning the path most of us assume we're supposed to follow—and whether there's another way. If you've ever wondered what life could look like outside the traditional 9-to-5, I think you'll enjoy this one. How to find Carley? 1. Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/carleymundt 2.
