Sally Kohn: Why do you think so many people ignore things like that and spend the bulk of their lives doing something they hate only to wake up and realize that half their life is passed them by? Kohn: I struggled with it for a while, because the signal for transformation for me really arrived before 2020. So even when the signal arrived, I ignored it for a long time, because I was afraid. She says fear of uncertainty and fear of unfailier are probably the two reasons to answer your question.
