Episode notes
What did you want to be when you grew up?
In this episode, Michael-Thomas and Sierra dive into childhood nostalgia, snow days, book recommendations, and the complicated pressure behind choosing a career path.

We talk about vocational training, societal expectations, career pivots, and finding purpose in unexpected places.
