## Resource

There comes a quiet moment in life when you feel ready to leave—your job, a path, a version of yourself. But what if that feeling isn’t about ending something… but about beginning something new? In this episode of A Little Zen, A Little Mess, Seema shares the story of Aarav, a man who discovered that true change doesn’t come from walking away, but from starting—quietly, consistently, and courageously. Because readiness doesn’t always feel like confidence. Sometimes it feels like restlessness. And sometimes, that’s your sign to begin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
