    EP02: Monster No.2 — Redefining My Life Between the Track and the Wilderness

    🎤 This is a topic I’ve wanted to talk about for years — but only recently have I truly felt it and struggled with it: the tension between the path my parents dreamed for me and the life I want for myself. 🎉 I shared a short speech about it at Toastmasters, but I left with so many thoughts unsaid. So in this episode, I’m diving deeper into that struggle — navigating family expectations, questioning my own choices, and exploring what it really means to build a life that’s truly mine. 🌲I’d love to hear your thoughts — so feel free to leave me a comment or message. Are you on a track that doesn’t feel like yours? Are you wandering through the Wilderness, searching for your own path? Or have you already found the track that truly belongs to you?🏃‍♀️ Want to read the full text version? 👉 View Here
