EP #97: We've all been told the same script to graduate, get the job, get married, buy the house, hopefully retire and then repeat.

In this episode, we're breaking down why your zig zags aren't a detour from your life, they ARE your life and why the most unexpected paths tend to be the best ones. If you've been putting pressure on yourself to have it all figured out, this one's your permission slip to stop chasing certainty and start chasing what actually moves you.
