Wonderfully written and I could identify with everything you wrote here. I’m excited for the first episode of The Unemployment Diaries. At 52 years old I’ve also come to realize that these things can only happen when the timing is right. Mindsets shift and priorities change. This exact thing happened to me in 2020, but the leap of faith that I’m taking now is much different that the actions I chose then. I didn’t believe enough in myself back then. This time I do. Similar to you, I may or may not succeed. But I think just by trying, we’ve already won. This takes a lot of courage. Best of luck as always 🩷
Thank you, Nat! I’m excited to share. The right time only seems obvious in hindsight which is such a challenge while you’re going through it. Your current mindset and accumulated skillset makes me think it’s very reasonable to except you will be a success!
What I always tell everyone is, you don't need confidence or self trust to do things. You should still go and do it. The only way you will build self trust is by doing and proving your mind that despite of what it tells you, you are capable.
Trust enough in ourselves to be patient in the process, showing up, questioningly maybe, but still doing so. And making peace with imperfection because trust triumphs. Beautifully written, @Aisha.
Thank you for such a thoughtful reflection! I definitely see unemployment, both in the career sense and in the more metaphorical sense, as an opportunity for reorientation. It's actually the exact terminology I used in my latest piece! #greatmindsthinkalike

Thank you Aisha. Each day I realize that I’m given a gift to be able to do this.

Yes! You trust your intuition by trusting your intuition. As you said, you need to see the proof.
Yes, trust is build over time but can be lost in an instant!
Ah interesting. What do you mean by that?

Thank you for the kind words, Subh! Making peace with all the imperfection in the progress is absolutely right.
