I’ve been there

After leaving my comfort zone early and getting educated on three different continents, I emerged into the workforce with a global perspective and full of energy.

But I quickly became disoriented and unsure of my direction.

None of the roles ‘out there’ felt like a real fit. The things I really wanted to do seemed too risky and unclear. I quit my first job after 3 months.

But I didn’t love my second job either.

I had to make a shift

Trying to figure things out, I started reading and pondering everything I could that might shed some light on work, life, fulfillment, and how to build a meaningful career.

Gradually, I embraced a more flexible approach, and it paid off. I began a project with friends, and one thing led to another. I found work with people I admired. I got to travel. I got promoted. I got to:

• Organize events in Italy, Zimbabwe, Vietnam, and Argentina

• Illustrate a book about money

• Build a virtual platform to help academics collaborate

• Kickstart a produce farm

• Become a mom

• Continue to qualify for ‘normal’ professional jobs :-)

What helped

It wasn’t the safety of a big corporation, or getting lucky on a meme-coin. It was about becoming aware of how we tend to think about work, and how they lead us astray.

Bit by bit, I changed the way I deal with work, away from rigidity and long term planning, and toward radical flexibility. And with every step came more confidence, and clarity, and meaning.
