Mandee's Minutes

An unexpected career change shook my confidence, ego, and sense of value. Years later, a beat-up quarter reminded me of something important: different condition, same value.

I thought I had lost my ambition. Maybe I wasn’t unmotivated at all—maybe the part of me that wanted to create, grow, and dream bigger was simply waiting for something to wake it back up.

Sometimes nothing is terribly wrong—you’ve simply grown. A reflection on recognizing when something no longer fits and giving yourself permission to want something different.
