In this solo episode, I delve into the profound significance of cultivating community and seeking support along our personal and professional journeys. Drawing insights from my experience as a guide for individuals transitioning to more purposeful and creative careers, I aim to reveal the transformative impact that like-minded connections can have.

“It’s really important to look for people who have done the thing that you are trying to do because it’s like building up evidence that it’s possible and that you can do it.”
