One year ago today, I took this photo just before heading out the door to my brand new job. I remember how nervous and excited I felt, mixed (of course) with a heavy dose of uncertainty and self-doubt. In that moment, I was choosing me.
This past year has stretched me, challenged me, and helped me grow in ways I never expected. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been meaningful in so many ways.
I’m really proud of that version of me for taking the leap. I am so grateful for the incredible people I get to work alongside every day, for this community that has embraced me, and for my friends and family who encouraged me, supported me, and reminded me (time and again) that I’ve got this.
I’m still learning every day, still growing, and far more grounded than I was a year ago.
This year has held both growth and loss, reminding me just how much can change in a year. I carry all of it with me as I step into year two, with gratitude and a fuller heart.
That girl in this photo truly had no idea what the year ahead would hold, but I’m so proud of her for walking out that door anyway.
