Trust the plot twists: Whether it's a career change or a personal decision, each transition has its purpose.
Resilience > Perfection: Overthinking holds you back. It’s about progress, not perfection.
Toxic relationships? Cut them loose: Your energy and growth are more important than any partnership that drains you.
