Four years ago, I said, “Who doesn’t want to come home?”

But what happens when the place you fought to return to no longer feels the same? When the job you once prayed for starts feeling heavier than you ever imagined?

In this episode, we unpack the quiet shift—from belonging to burnout, from growth to pressure, from choosing a place to questioning if you’d still choose it today. We talk about the myth of “keeping up,” the weight of evolving expectations, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, it’s not you who changed—it’s the system around you.

Because maybe the real question isn’t why you came back.
Maybe it’s whether you’d still stay.
