Thanks for sharing, @britt.the.ish! It's incredible to me how much pressure families put on children to choose certain careers...but children see that their parents are unhappy or unsatisfied, so why would they want to take their advice??

I'm thankful that my own parents didn't really pressure me to be this or that, and have supported my choices for my life in the best ways they know how. I still gave into pressure from my extended "family", but thank heavens I got sick of settling for a less-than-stellar life and started following my inner guidance!

Life is way too short to waste on things you don't love. 💛
