Sometimes we just need a little reminder that we’re right where we need to be. In this vlog, I’m coming back after a short break (I took two weeks to visit family, catch up with friends from NorCal, and handle a bunch of work stuff). The main reason I hit record is because I had a really wholesome, heart-to-heart conversation with an old high school friend who’s feeling stuck right now. From his perspective, I look like I have it together—job, moving cities—but in my head, I’m still figuring things out too (layoffs, career questions, all that). I share four things we talked about that helped both of us reset our perspective. One: spend more time with the people you care about, because after college life turns into “appointment hangouts” and it’s way too easy to end up alone. Two: write things down—goals, thoughts, even tiny action steps—so you don’t get stuck in overthinking and paralysis. Three: don’t compare, just start; I try to use other people’s wins as inspiration, not proof I’m behind. Four: believe in yourself—you got this—and lean on your people when you doubt yourself. If you’re feeling stuck, take one step at a time and trust that you’re exactly where you need to be.
