174: “No, I do not have a permanent job, and I'm still okay.” — By A Daughter Following Her Inner Calling


Listen Later

If you could reflect on one thing, it’s this:

Whose voice shaped your definition of success—and does it still hold true?

This letter is for anyone who has ever felt like their career choices were never enough.

Through much clarity, the writer explores what it means to break free from a parent’s version of stability—and instead build a life aligned with purpose, not predictability. Whether confronting generational expectations or making peace with a mother who may never understand, this letter offers a moment of quiet self-trust.

If you’ve ever heard your parents’ voice in your head when you’re trying to make a decision, or struggled to explain your unconventional path to someone who just doesn’t get it—this one’s for you.
