In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that resonates with so many of us: the overwhelming pressure to have life all figured out. Remember those high school moments when everyone seemed obsessed with asking, “What’s your plan for the future?” Those questions planted seeds of fear and doubt for many of us—and they’re just might still be affecting how we approach life today.

Join me as I share a personal story about a guidance counselor meeting that left a lasting impact and how it shaped my perspective on passion, purpose, and navigating life’s big questions. Together, we’ll challenge the myths around having a “forever plan” and explore why life is less about perfect answers and more about staying curious and open.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why the “real world” isn’t as scary as we were told.
• The harm caused by the “forever mentality” and how to break free from it.
• How passion isn’t always immediate but can develop over time.
• Practical steps to shift your perspective, embrace change, and take the pressure off.

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Shift Your Perspective: Instead of asking, “What’s my lifelong purpose?” start with, “What am I curious about today?”
2. Break It Down: Take one small step—whether it’s a new class, a hobby, or volunteering—and see where it leads.
3. Give yourself Permission to Change: Your path doesn’t have to be permanent. Life is about evolving, learning, and pivoting when needed.
4. Take the Pressure Off: Focus on what aligns with your current season of life, not a “forever plan.”
5. Start Small: You don’t have to have a grand plan right now

Whether you’re a student feeling the weight of these questions for the first time or someone further along in life looking to redefine what success means to you, this episode is for you.
