#057 Sometimes our chosen career path may not align with our true passion and values. In this case, Lauren discovered her love for art and creativity, which she initially overlooked due to societal expectations and other, family influences. Her leap not only reshaped her professional life but also brought an unexpected harmony to her family dynamics.
In this episode, Lauren shares her journey, highlighting the long hours and inadequate compensation in her physical therapy roles, as well as the inflexibility of work schedules after becoming a mother. She realized that outpatient ortho was not fulfilling her and started to search for something that would resonate more with her identity and values, leading her to take the plunge into dice making. The advent of COVID-19 served as a catalyst for Lauren, who, amid the uncertainties of the pandemic, found clarity in her desire to pursue dice making full-time.
The episode resonates with anyone feeling trapped in a career that doesn't align with their true self. Staying in a profession that doesn't align with one's true passion can hinder our personal growth and overall well-being. Lauren's story encourages us to follow our true calling by challenging the norms of traditional career paths.
