S2 E7: When the Right Choice Turns Into the Wrong Life

Episode Summary

Sometimes you make the thoughtful choice.
The responsible choice.
The aligned choice.

And months later, you’re sitting in a life that doesn’t feel like your own, wondering how something so “right” could feel so wrong.

In this episode, Jessica shares a deeply personal chapter: a cross-country move that made perfect sense on paper and became one of the most challenging seasons of her life. It’s a story of identity, misalignment, resilience, and the unexpected clarity that emerges when everything falls apart.
