The day I said goodbye to a career that was sucking the life out of me,everything changed.
When I came across Bronnie Ware’s work, The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying, I was deeply saddened at what the number one regret was - “I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.“ Ooomph. I got *all the feels* when I read that one.

It started with a decision to never wake up dreading the day before me EVER again. That thing that you daydream about doing? That thing you wake up at 2am getting excited about? Do it. Start. Fail. Pivot when you need to (Queen Pivot-er over here!) You don’t need to know it all - just take the first step.
