E31: Ten Years In: What Staying Taught Me

Ten years ago, I moved to New Orleans without really knowing how it would all work. This episode is a reflection on what a decade teaches you about growth, uncertainty, independence, and becoming someone you didn’t yet know how to be. I talk about college, leadership, career shifts, living on my own, saying yes before confidence arrived, and learning that life doesn’t come with semesters or timelines that make sense in hindsight. If you’ve ever looked up and wondered where the time went or questioned whether you’re doing life “right” compared to everyone else — this conversation is for you. This isn’t advice. It’s perspective. A reminder that growth is happening, even when it doesn’t look like progress.
