Thank you as always, Carolina! I love the « AND » as opposed to the « BUT » :) I find myself not beholden to the money or stability of a traditional job but instead like many Americans beholden to the healthcare tied to these positions. So I strive to find a position I believe in wholeheartedly and one that is fulfilling, purpose-driven, and one where I can utilize my gifts and passion! The « AND » I aspire to at the moment looks like the ands you have outlined but within the umbrella of traditional employment. Meanwhile still putting energy into my own personal path knowing it is similarly aligned with my corporate aspirations and what that looks like as a separate parallel track :) Thank you and Phil for bringing these thoughtful and empowering conversations into this space and beyond!
Thank you, Autumn, for your comment! I think there is no single way of AND … it has infinite ways of manifesting for each person. I just hold the possibility that whatever form it takes, we can stop playing the OR game and find our own ways to integrate both in our lives, for a healthy and abundant life.
That was exactly my intention in writing this essay, to help others see how unique they are and how combining things that may seem unrelated can be so powerful. I'm happy it touched you
