A mum who quit her job to take a mid-life gap year says she's not "selfish" for leaving her husband and kids behind.
Kym Wootton, 42, from Boulder, Colorado, US, decided to leave her six-figure chief administrative officer to spend a year writing a novel, going on breaks and being more "present" with her family.
The mum-of-two now spends her days writing, relaxing and meeting up with friends and spend more time with her sons – Finn, 16, and Will, 13 – and husband, Mike, 49, a project manager.
