In this solo episode, I take you through my winding career journey—the dreams I had as a child, the expectations placed on me, and the moments of crisis that forced me to rethink everything. I share how I once believed teaching was my calling, only to realize in university that it was the last thing I wanted to do—yet I stuck with it for three more years. I reflect on the bold declarations of my early 20s, swearing I’d never move back home, never be a teacher, never follow a predictable path… only to find myself doing exactly that.

From teaching to waiting tables in England, searching for creativity in job listings, and ultimately starting this podcast, I’ve learned that uncertainty and self-discovery are part of the process. And now? I’m happy—teaching, creating, and embracing the fact that change is always an option. If you’ve ever questioned your path, this episode is for you.
