““Sometimes change is chosen and sometimes it’s chosen for us.” No truer words summarize the life experience. Everything about this episode with Paula Faris and Candace Cameron Bure is so relatable, authentic and pure! We grow up with hopes, dreams and goals and we work toward attaining those dreams but what happens when we reach the goal only to find out that our expectations do not match the reality of the achievement? Who wants to admit that what they spent a great deal of time attaining is no longer a vibrational match for them? Everything shared here was so relatable to my own journey. It is only with age and growth (and not all growth feels good) that we learn that it’s ok to change your path. I personally went through a very challenging experience at the very last corporate job that I had before deciding to leave corporate life for good. I am so grateful now for that experience but when I was going through it I felt like I was drowning. I was very fortunate to have a few close friends that were my rock and gave me comfort through the ordeal. I was faced with continuing to lose my spirit or walk away from a very well paying job that was sucking the life out of me. I was so grateful for my loving husband who supported me when I finally said that I had to walk away from that role. I felt like such a failure and it took me a long time to realize that I did what was absolutely necessary for my survival and my mental health. At the time that I went through this (about 6 years ago) people didn’t just leave high paying jobs without a plan or at the very least another job. I felt like I carried a dirty little secret around- along with a stigma. Thank you to Paula and Candace for bringing light to the fact that nurturing your soul will always be more important than a prestigious job and if it is meant for you, the opportunity will present itself again. I cannot wait to hear upcoming podcasts!”
