Changing careers in your twenties

How do you change careers when you’ve never really had one? In usual fashion, my biannual crisis found its way to me. Except this time, amidst all the chaos, I finally found something. After months of ‘life plan’ rough drafts, and an unfortunate learning experience, I stumbled across a University course that seemed perfect for […]

Follow your curiosity

When I got really into podcasts in 2022, I listened to an Oprah’s Super Soul episode that featured author Elizabeth Gilbert. I’d heard of her before – I love Eat Pray Love and Big Magic.
