Hello ma darlinss😃😊. Welcome back to the WJP; the Quarter Life Chronicles series.
In this debut episode, I share my personal journey of navigating numerous life transitions over the past few years. I discuss the pivotal moment in 2021 when a simple question from a colleague made me reevaluate my life and autonomy. From dealing with societal pressures and family expectations to experiencing an emotional meltdown and career confusion, I open up about the struggles and realizations that shaped me. I also explore changes in my faith, identity, and relationship dynamics, offering insights into the importance of making autonomous decisions. This episode sets the stage for future discussions on adapting to life's constant changes, particularly in young adulthood.
