Leaving My Stable Job Forced Me to Face My Biggest Fear

from Sincere Practice · host Helen Bass, LCSW

What felt like loss became an invitation to confront where my security truly rested and to step into a quieter, deeper curiosity about the future. If you’re standing at a threshold in your career, marriage, or faith, this is a reflection on what it means to choose trust over control.Work with Helen: https://www.sincerepractice.com/Subscribe to Newsletter: https://sincerepractice.substack.com/Time Stamps00:00 The Leap of Faith: Starting Sincere Practice03:10 Navigating the First Week: Challenges and Insights05:57 Redefining Purpose: From Creativity to Relationships This is a public episode.
