March was a very interesting month for me, and honestly my brain was all over the place. When that happens, I default to cleaning and catching up—so this vlog starts with me resetting my room, then making a quick coffee sequence (I hecka overexposed it… my bad) because I wanted to practice some cool angles before I sit down and talk. The real reason I’m filming is because I’m at a crossroads. In March I found out my team is being dissolved, which means I’m getting laid off on April 30th. It’s the first time I’ve gone through something like this, and even though my manager was awesome and gave us time and support to apply internally/externally, it still messed with my head. I applied to multiple internal roles, got two responses, got rejected after four rounds for one, and then got an offer for a customer success management role. I’m grateful, but it’s different from my program management background—even if a lot of my skill sets transfer. So it came down to two routes: take the new job for stability while I keep building videos and dance on the side, or take a chance on myself and go all-in on dance/content without a super clear goal yet. With finances being a big factor (and me not growing up with a lot), I’m leaning toward taking the role, staying stable, and continuing to push toward my future—knowing I can always change direction later.
