How to be ok with not having everything figured out

Most of us felt completely lost after graduating from college when it was time for us to finally head into the "real" world. A new environment, new people, new challenges, and a short resume. If only our college degree had also come with an instruction manual for adulthood. It is not uncommon for us young, ambitious women to experience a quarter-life crisis in our 20s and question the role we are playing in this world. This week's guest has been there. Carolene Méli deferred college twice, she then left school mid-way through her studies, eventually finished her degree and is a full-time traveller who spent 10 years on tour with Cirque du Soleil. At age 35 she is now working as an Experience Strategist helping businesses create exceptional experiences for their employees and their guests. Carolene argues that is in fact ok to not have everything in life figured out because our past experiences and skills we develop over time will create future opportunity and self-confidence. However, most of the time we aren't even aware of the plethora of skills we have garnered over the years. Carolene knows from personal experience that having a non-linear path is not only fine but probably more beneficial than a linear path. This episode is a must-listen for everyone who feels stuck, especially the generalists among you!
