This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 804, Sun 27 July, 2025
Dear Escapees,
School’s out, inboxes are quiet(er), and there’s finally enough sunshine to feel it in your bones.
Whether you’re juggling childcare, easing through slow work weeks, or finding pockets of time to just be — this season has a different rhythm. It’s not about urgent plans. It’s about tuning in.
Letting thoughts bubble up on walks, in the sea, or mid-solero. This week’s Top 10 is for that energy. The kind that helps you spot a role that makes you look twice... and follow the nudge.
Happy Escaping!
The Escape Team
