Everyone thought I was crazy for leaving a secure, successful career as a perinatal sonographer to go back to school and pursue my doctorate. I had built a life in a field I loved, but something deeper kept calling me. A quiet, relentless pull to help people heal from the inside out.

In this episode, inspired by the book Grit by Angela Duckworth, we’re talking about interest — the essential, often underestimated spark that begins every journey of passion and perseverance. Duckworth says, “Figure out what you enjoy doing most in life, and then try to do it full time.”

Today, I’m sharing how I followed that exact advice — and why it was the grittiest, most grace-filled decision of my life. Whether you're at a crossroads or just starting to explore what lights you up, this conversation is a reminder:

Your interest isn’t random. It’s a whisper from your purpose.
And you are allowed to build your life around what you love.
