Do you keep waiting for a moment of sudden clarity that tells you what to do after you leave the corporate world?  

It sounds cinematic, like it should come with a soundtrack and perfect lighting.

But almost never shows up like that.

As a good GenXer, you’ve probably been taught to expect it; to believe that being smart and strategic means you’ll earn the perfect plan.

So you dither around with job listings, startup articles, and half-baked ideas, hoping something obvious appears.

Because you are smart, and you assume you can think your way to clarity. But clarity doesn’t strike. It unfolds.

It’s less like lightning and more like cooking without a recipe.

To get there, you have to start experimenting. And there’s one secret ingredient that makes that easier.

Let’s talk about how to let go of the clarity fantasy and find a more honest, empowering way forward.
