From burnt out in big tech to building something that actually feels like me. 🌺 I was featured in @maggieblackburn ‘s Feeling Free Newsletter and it turned into the most honest reflection of my journey I’ve put into words. The re-orgs. The imposter syndrome. The knot in my stomach on the way to work. The cupcake business. The voice acting. The four months of figuring out who I even was outside of a W2. And then, real estate — which sounds like a left turn but felt, for the first time, like a straight line. I still have fears. I haven’t overcome them. But I am amazed every single day at how beautiful it is to watch people work hard to live their fullest lives — and to get to be a small part of that. New post is up.
