"I'm going to inhabit my world as it is today, while I also look to make some changes," she says. "If you're just waiting to feel differently about yourself until you hit that moment where you're like, check the box changed now, I feel like that is going to be an empty quest." She adds: "The same way that we were saying, before you leave a job or even to think about leaving a job for something else that you hope will be better, do all the work to make where you are as good as humanly possible"
