In this emotional storytelling episode, Evie shares a pivotal moment in her career — the day a recruiter told her she “wasn’t qualified” to work in the space industry. What happened next, inside a Toyota courtesy van, changed her life forever. 

Evie takes you through her journey of grief, burnout, quitting her job, backpacking Southeast Asia, and rebuilding from the ground up. She reveals how one recruiter’s doubt almost derailed her dream — and how a stranger named Carlos helped her reclaim it. This story is a powerful reminder that other people’s limitations are not your destiny.
