What happens when you check all the boxes but still feel lost? In this episode, Fatima opens up about life after grad school—working multiple jobs, questioning the 9-5, and realizing that following "the plan" doesn't always lead where you expect. She shares a serendipitous moment at a Brooklyn event that reminded her: feeling lost doesn't mean you're failing, it might mean you're growing. Plus, she offers practical advice for navigating winter blues and a powerful journal prompt for the new year.
