What if the discomfort isn’t a sign you’re on the wrong path but an invitation to rethink your next step?

Caitlin opens up about the messy, in-between phase of balancing a healthcare career with a creative side hustle. She reflects on the guilt of wanting out, the pressure to keep going when it looks good on paper, and why small tweaks might make a bigger difference than going all in or walking away. Caitlin challenges the idea that leaving is the only option and encourages you to dig deeper into what your discomfort is really saying.
