Episode 35 — Learning to Redirect Your Life Path —with Aaron Aldridge

COVID has taught us that plans can be completely ripped from our hands at any moment. What you thought you’d be doing for the rest of your life could completely change and plans might need to be shifted. Aaron, Director at Spruce Mountain, went into college with a completely different idea than where he now finds himself. At first he thought he would pursue music but after working with people in the restaurant industry, Aaron discovered his passion for people, causing him to change his degree in college. At the time it might’ve felt like a big and scary change, but now Aaron finds himself right where he needs to be, helping young adults find a successful life of their own. On this episode of Success is Subjective, Aaron joins Joanna to share his journey going from a music major to getting a degree in counseling to work with people. Sometimes big changes need to be made in order to get to where you need to be. Listen in for Aaron’s profound insight on how he’s learned to look at day to day life and how he encourages young adults and parents in their journeys. What You Will LearnThe importance in keeping your options open What playing chess as a child taught Aaron.
