091 Your Passion Is Your Talent: Startups, Breakups, and Trusting Your Gut
Ever felt like your passions don't count as "real" qualifications? Today’s solo episode is your permission slip to embrace your obsessions and trust that your passion IS your greatest talent.
In this heart-to-heart, I share the behind-the-scenes of how I landed a dream job by following what genuinely lights me up, despite not having a formal degree in it. We discuss navigating dual emotions, managing fears about taking career risks, and why staying exactly where you are can be riskier.
