The Art of Being Lost

The Art of Being Lost

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.
