In this episode, I’m taking you through every major decision I’ve made about my life and career so far- the moments where I felt completely certain I had it all figured out… and how those certainties kept evolving.
From creative writing and theatre to law school dreams, big law ambitions, financial litigation, burnout, podcasting, and producing, I’ve changed my mind more times than I can count. And each time, I was so sure I finally knew what I was doing with my future.
This is one of my most honest and vulnerable episodes yet. I sat down without a script and talked through the real turning points: choosing passion over prestige, navigating family financial pressure, chasing creative work, questioning law school, and ultimately deciding to attend Harvard Law School.
I talk about the fear of being indecisive, the tension between creativity and practicality, and what it means to admit you don’t actually know what your life will look like- even when you’re the type of person that always wants to map out a five-year plan.
By the end of the episode, I share the major decision I’ve recently made about Harvard Law and why I’m finally learning to lean into change and uncertainty instead of trying to control it.
If you’re in your twenties, navigating career changes, feeling behind, or wondering whether you’re allowed to change your mind- this episode is for you.
And maybe the goal isn’t to have it all figured out. Maybe it’s to keep choosing- and re-choosing who you want to be.
