I really felt stuck because I built my career up to this point and now we had the nice house, the nice cars, this social status, and everything else.

And I couldn't see a path to get out of it.

And about this time is when I started to do some initial soul searching and I was starting to see a psychologist for some

help trying to deal with what I was experiencing.

When I started to hear this inner voice that was telling me that this path that I was on was

not the path that I was destined to be on or that my unique skill set was being called upon me to

utilize for the benefit of anyone really. But the inner voice was telling me that I was supposed to start helping people in a way that I just couldn't

The goal is to expose you to as many people as possible who've found their path and to humanize them.

And after hearing story after story, eventually, hopefully, you give yourself permission

to move further in the direction of whatever feels like your path and your purpose because what you'll see is that anyone who does that has to overcome many of the same obstacles that you may be dealing with right now.
