What if not having a master plan is exactly the point? After leaving a 25-year corporate career to pursue a degree in psychology, I found myself repeatedly asked, “What are you going to do with it?” This post explores the freedom—and power—of following curiosity over certainty.

Becoming a parent isn’t just life-changing—it’s identity-shattering.
