This experience can manifest as a sudden realization, prompting a deep reflection on one's path and true desires. An example is Katya, who initially followed a traditional route to becoming a lawyer due to her academic success, only to feel bored and disengaged in her practice. Eventually, she moved to Canada, seeking to redefine her career based on her authentic self.
