"I rented a moving truck, hitched my car behind it and I climbed into the cab with my then six-year-old daughter. I had walked away from seemingly everything that made me seem like an established and successful adult. But as the miles rolled along, all I could think about was how happy I was to be in the middle of rescuing myself."
