why.

I’m one of those keeners.

You know… the ones who grew up being told they need top marks and a 'upstanding' job. So I got into my professional program after just a year of prerequisites and then checked off those next credentials one after the other.

Boom, boom, boom.

Then around year nine up the career ladder, I stopped. Or life stopped me, and then suddenly I looked around and wondered what the hell I was doing.

Yeah, so keen I had to have my mid-life crisis decades early (hopefully).

This is a blog about career uncertainty, existential crises and all that fun stuff. I found it frustrating to find only listicles or content from people who've 'made it to the other side' and found success. I got resentful rather than motivated.

What about the shitty parts?

I don’t have all the answers, hell, most days I feel like I’m going nowhere. I just hope you find some companionship from my writing if you're going through the same.

“We limit ourselves in thinking about what we can withstand in terms of uncertainty. If you just go on with faith, faith in yourself, the universe, you’ll never take that step. But the moment you say I’m ok, I can make it through what comes, you do.”
