In this special solo episode of Chasing Common Ground, I’m celebrating my 33rd birthday by taking a deep dive into my life experiences and answering some thought-provoking questions. I reflect on how my mindset has evolved from my 20s to now, including the shifts in my beliefs about career paths and the limitations I once placed on myself.

I share personal stories about overcoming my initial reluctance to travel, the daily habits that help me maintain a positive outlook, and the moments of career self-doubt that have challenged me along the way. I also explore the impact of unexpected decisions, the role of diversity in shaping my life, and how past influences continue to fuel my passions.

Using questions generated by ChatGPT, I offer an honest look at my journey so far, what I’ve learned, and where I hope to go next.
