This morning brought another amazing group together at Grand Central Petaluma for some anti-networking, laughter, and conversations about being human in a constantly changing world.
We talked about what it’s like to have a multi-career life. To change careers, pivot, start over, follow a new direction, or simply find yourself in a season where you’re constantly adjusting to what’s happening both outside of you and within you.
One thing that really stuck with me was the idea of listening to your heart. It sounds simple, but it can be surprisingly hard to do.
We also talked about how it’s okay to have a “jobby job.” To have multiple streams of income. To have side hustles. To not have every single thing you do be connected to your passion or purpose.
Maybe a career is more like a patchwork quilt. A collection of experiences, jobs, interests, side projects, and unexpected turns that keeps evolving as we do.
And I think that’s part of what makes ANNC so special. We’re a group of people trying to figure out how to build lives that are full and meaningful while also figuring out how to sustain ourselves along the way.
There is no one right path. Just a bunch of interesting humans sharing the journey and trying to make something good out of it. 💛
