This episode was recorded back in September of this year, but I found it in my audio-files and as I listened to it, I couldn’t help but know that it was never published for a reason. It felt as though I spoke directly to myself in my current situation — in the space between this September & this December, I have found myself amid quite a bit of career confusion, not having any answers or knowing what to do, and how to move forward with the unknowing. And it’s a reminder that sometimes - we have to remember how far we’ve come, how much we know, and how much we’ve forgotten as we get lost in the throws of life.  You’ll never solve a problem in crisis mode — and taking a step back will always let you see a much bigger picture that you didn’t have before. So, as we get into the finality of this year, it is time for reflection, for rest, and to allow ourselves to evolve. To sit with what we really want, balance it with what makes sense for us, and allow the path to be carved for when we know how to walk upon it. On this episode, I give you the run-down on my experience through my educational studies and choices, college, and moving to New York City to figure the rest out. I had a very non-traditional experience through this part of my adolescence, and as hard as it was — it taught me more than I know to be grateful for.  I’m still along the journey of Figuring Sh!t Out, as we all will be for the rest of our lives — and this topic is to likely be revisited when I find more answers I didn’t have before. But in the mean-time, I will have fun finding them — because in the end,  If you spend your whole life trying to get your act together, you don’t have a life. You have an act.  xx So much news coming in the new year!
