Ever hit every milestone you thought would make you happy… and still felt that quiet “so what?”
This week, we’re joined by Selena — born in Italy, lived in 7 countries, and now working in sales at Amazon — to unpack the moment she realised that a perfectly planned life still wasn’t a fulfilling one.
Together, we break down the difference between having a plan and having a purpose — and why chasing timelines won’t satisfy you if they’re not aligned with who you are at your core.
We get into the messy middle of it all: mental breakdowns, therapy, vulnerability, and the wake-up calls that force you to finally stop running on autopilot.
