I made the leap recently and it is an amazing feeling.
Over ten years in professional services/consultancy. I quit with nothing lined up, treated myself to a short break as genuine time off/recovery. Didn't even looking at job ads for a month, and then started applying.
I've landed a job I'm really excited about in the 3rd sector. Exactly the kind of meaningful work I was seeking. I'm starting at the start of May. It's really turned out very well for me.
For those that know me, I want to emphasise I left my previous employer on good terms. I just didn't want to spend the rest of my working life doing work where the main purpose was not to help people/benefit society.
