Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
You shouldn't live so far from home and work so much.
How I responded:
You can love your family and not live next to them. There are trade-offs and it can be hard. But some people need to break away.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
Growing up, finances was a stress for my family. I wanted to create a base for myself in my career so I didn't have to constantly worry about money. It's important to have a spouse/partner who shares in this path.
