Waiting for something that just won't come—a job offer, medical results, someone's decision, or in my case, a resident card that's 410 days overdue. The patience runs thin. The hope starts to dwindle. And the guilt creeps in for not "handling it better." In this episode of The Pivot Season, I'm bringing you into the messy middle of my 500-day wait for Portuguese residency while navigating a layoff and an uncertain future. Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is stop pretending we have it all together and start holding space for the grief, the fear, and the cognitive load that uncertainty creates. If you're waiting for something that feels like it may never come, this episode is for you.
