Am I growing… or am I just running away?

That’s the question I had to sit with as I reflected on my time in Austin and the decision to leave. Before talking about what’s next, I wanted to be honest about what this city gave me: how it shaped my work ethic, clarified the kind of community I want, and showed me the power of being surrounded by people who take their lives seriously.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I walk through:

•How Austin changed the way I work and think about discipline

•Why coworking and proximity to driven people matters

•The kind of community I realized I’m called to build long-term

•What wholesome, value-aligned living actually looks like

•How to tell the difference between growth and escape

This episode is for anyone who’s felt torn between staying and leaving…

Anyone questioning whether a change is avoidance or obedience…

And anyone trying to move forward with clarity instead of impulse.
