Andrea Millar, CPA/PFS, thought she knew what really mattered. Getting good grades in school and going above and beyond at work were part of her being. But she came to the realization that work was consuming her life, at the expense of other things she cared about. Millar wrote about that experience, and some of the changes she made to create a more fulfilling life, in <a href= "https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/issues/2025/jan/how-to-stop-work-from-consuming-your-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a recent JofA article</a>. She also joined the JofA podcast to discuss the topic.
