There's a voice inside you that knows things your logical mind hasn't figured out yet. I spent 8 years ignoring mine — until my body started screaming what my intuition had been whispering all along.
This is the story of walking away from a respected career in education, not because I hated it, but because something deeper was calling. It's about the dangerous comfort of "pretty good" opportunities and why the whisper you've been ignoring might be the most important voice you'll ever hear.
Most of us have been taught to outsource our truth — to parents, systems, experts, society's definitions of success. But what happens when you finally stop asking permission and start listening to your internal compass?
If you've ever felt that quiet hum of disconnection, that sense that "this isn't quite it," this story is for you. Because the answers you're looking for? You already have them.
