Jean, thank you for this post. Like, for real.

There’s so much I could highlight in it. Especially the part about (not) getting influenced by others around you who are jumping on a bandwagon.

What one person aspires to isn’t what you or me should necessarily aspire to.

I love the concept of giving ourselves permission to craft a career/life we truly want, even if it doesn’t fit the typical “gotta move up the ladder” idea that’s so ingrained in us.

This post honestly couldn’t come at a better time for me, who’s in “finding out my next step” mode. Thanks again.
