Sometimes you think you know what you want in life. Sometimes you take a path and think, “This is it. I can do this forever.”
But for some of us, the path isn’t a straight line. It’s full of twists and turns. We move between different interests, collect all sorts of knowledge, and end up doing a million things that somehow, eventually, connect.
My first dream was to study psychology. (And honestly, years later, I still think I have what it takes to be good at it, but that’s a story for a different timeline in the multiverse!) But family guidance steered me in a different direction, so I ended up with a degree in Industrial Design.
Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for the skills I learned. But I also look at that decision now and think, “Wow, how did I ever think that was the right fit for me?!”
The result? A diploma for a career I never actually practiced. And that’s okay! It taught me invaluable lessons and, more importantly, led me directly to my next stop: Web Design and Social Media.
I’m deeply thankful for that chapter. I met amazing people, took on tons of projects, and built a real career. But once again, I had this nagging feeling that I hadn’t quite found “my thing.”
And here’s the thing about me: I’ve always had two sides. One is logical and precise, it feels at home with structured systems, clean code, and stable data, but the other is creative, intuitive, and constantly searching for deeper meaning.
This duality lets me see the world through different lenses, but it also explains my wonderfully crooked career path.
While building websites and running email campaigns, I gave myself permission to explore a completely different passion: Traditional Chinese Medicine and the esoteric world. This wasn’t a random hobby; it’s been an essential part of my life since I was a child.
Life has a funny way of connecting the dots. I found a strange and perfect balance by taking on very precise, technical WordPress support work. This stability gave me the freedom to dive into my other interests, and I launched an Astrology and Tarot project, using all my design and social media skills.
It started slowly, then gained incredible traction during the pandemic. People were curious and had time to explore. I created courses, offered consultations, and built a fulfilling practice that supported me.
And finally, when I think I achieve the desired balance the world shifted again. As life returned to “normal,” personal challenges arose, and maintaining momentum became harder.
While this work was the most satisfying I’d ever done, I found it difficult to sustain the focus and consistency required, especially when dealing with the unfamiliar parts of running a business.
Then, my stable WordPress revenue stream dried up. Suddenly, life presented me with a big question: “What’s next?”
