"To be safe or not to be safe, that is the question"

Im sure many of you have asked yourself this kind of question before - or hell, maybe you're at a crossroads and wondering it right now. We ALL struggle with knowing what to do when our heads are telling us to pick the 'safe route' but our hearts are calling us to something different. Well today, Im going to help you out of that indecision because Im breaking down why the WHOLE idea of the "safe job" that we were told to aspire for all our lives is a complete myth. You heard me. In this episode Im breaking down the reasons we were led to believe it in the first place, how this belief can get us stuck, but most importantly how you can shift your perspective in order to follow what will truly make you happy. Youre going to want to tune in to this one!
