In this episode, I’m joined by college friend and fellow psychology major, Dr. Sarah Scalese. We catch up on where life landed us, the careers we thought we’d have, and the ones we actually built.

We talk about ending up in cities we never expected to call home, managing burnout over time, and how being told certain paths would be “too hard” shaped some of our early decisions. Sarah shares practical insight from her work as a CBT therapist, and we also talk about the importance of being intentional about community and friendships in this season of life.

This is a conversation about growth, perspective, and finding steadiness in lives that didn’t follow a straight line.
