    I just wanted to say thank you for this episode. It came at exactly the right time for me. I’m currently working through a tough decision in my life, and listening today gave me so much clarity and encouragement. I truly needed this. One quote from the episode especially stuck with me: “At the end of the day, no one has walked in your shoes to get you where you are, and no one has to walk in your shoes to get you where you’re going. At the end of the day, it’s all on you.” This hit me hard, and it’s something I’m going to live by moving forward. Thank you again for your words and your work, it made a real difference for me today.
