Went from career obsessed workaholic to working part time and I almost didn't recognize myself

Spent 15 years grinding in finance. 60 hour weeks, traveled constantly, made great money, hated my life. Got divorced because of it. When my custody agreement started I realized I had a choice - keep the same job and see my kids 2 days a week, or switch to consulting 3 days a week and actually be present. Obviously chose the second thing but man, the identity crisis was real. Who am I if I'm not the guy with the corner office and the suit? Turns out I'm someone who watches his son's soccer games and knows what his daughter's favorite teacher's name is. Still weird sometimes but I wouldn't go back.
