But what many of us discover is that every stage of our career asks something different of us. In this deeply personal episode, I share the lessons I wish someone had taught me during those first few years when I was trying to make sense of massage therapy, business, confidence, professionalism, and what it truly means to build a successful career. You'll hear the stories behind some of the biggest turning points in my own journey—from questioning my value as a new therapist to rebuilding after COVID, discovering the power of curiosity, and realizing that success isn't about arriving at a destination. It's about continuing to grow into the professional you're meant to become. Whether you work in a spa, a medical practice, a private office, or you're just beginning your career, I hope this conversation encourages you to stop seeing confusion as failure and begin seeing it as an invitation to think differently. In this episode you'll learn: • Why every stage of your career requires a different way of thinking • The difference between learning techniques and becoming a professional • How curiosity can become one of your greatest career assets • Why burnout and outgrowing your current career aren't always the same thing • How to build a career that reflects who you're becoming—not just what you've already accomplished If you've ever wondered whether you're on the right path, this episode is for you.
