“What's wrong with you?” Who else heard that growing up? This week the gang discusses our hopes and dreams for who or what we would become, how our parents reacted to leaving stable jobs (or not entering into them at all), ways we navigated career expectations, and what really happened.

From dreams of writing for the NY Times and being the first woman president, to following your heart from the beginning, each of us shares the non traditional path we took to get to where we are today.

So what’s next? In true GenX fashion, most of us have decided to “buy the ticket and take the ride” and not worry tooooo much about the future (Cuz we can’t retire until 67 anyway!)

Our advice?  “Take the leap and the net will appear".
