The maze of passion, purpose, and career is a journey of familiar crossroads that many face after graduation. This tangled web is especially true for those brimming with creativity, like our artists, whose imaginative prowess often goes unnoticed or undervalued in the traditional job market. How long should one knock on doors that won't open? How many rejections can the heart bear, especially when the very essence of your identity feels rejected?

In this episode of The May We Know Them Podcast, Jacqueline Nwankwo poignantly describes this quandary. From the heartache of repeated rejections from graduate schools to the soul-crushing moment where she left work to weep on her couch, burdened with the weight of stress-induced muscle spasms, Jax knows what it’s like to push and push for something you aren’t even sure you want anymore.

But, as the saying goes… “It's always darkest before the dawn.” For Jacqueline, a light blazed bright through a powerful realization: changing direction isn't synonymous with quitting. This revelation freed her, setting her on a path where she wasn't merely surviving, but thriving. Within a month, she launched her VA business, leaving behind the confines of an industry that seemed to have no room for her. Now, she no longer fears closed doors and steers into pivots without shame.

In true #StrongWoman fashion, we welcome you to embrace Jacqueline's words as they unfold. Ponder on them. Note down feelings they evoke – be it validation or unease. Her story is more than a sharing opportunity; it's an invitation. Immerse yourself in this heartfelt conversation, as we toast to the power of choice.

In today's fast-paced world, we often find ourselves in a chase – seeking answers externally, subscribing to societal definitions of success, and spending endlessly on items we believe will mold us into the 'ideal' person. But buried beneath these external pursuits, lies a profound truth: the answers we seek reside within us. And, when we consistently sideline this inner voice, our health and mental well-being bear the brunt.

Lindsey's story is a testament to this reality. Plummeting into a harrowing phase of depression compounded by an eating disorder, she faced some of the darkest moments of her life. But in this adversity, Lindsey chose to seek support, embarking on a year-long healing journey. The outcome? An alignment with her inner self, specifically her own femininity, accompanied by unprecedented joy, peace, and happiness.

The profound realization Lindsey shares in this episode is the innate need to relinquish control and stop white-knuckling through life. We've been sculpted by society to micromanage our emotions and bodies, striving for an unrealistic ideal. But the real magic happens when we let go, allowing our souls, hearts, and bodies to guide us. She stresses on rekindling the forgotten art of truly listening to oneself, especially during a time when many are challenging and redefining the status quo societal definitions that no longer apply to the here and now.

Her epiphany led to a life-changing shift. Envision taking a deep, invigorating breath after being underwater for what seems like an eternity. That's Lindsey's new reality. With her senses heightened, her ability to dream, love, and truly live expanded exponentially. Riding this wave of self-discovery, she's driven by an insatiable thirst for more – not just a 100%, but a whopping 150% of this enriched experience.

As is customary with our 'Strong Woman' ethos, this episode of "May We Know Them" is designed for active reflection. As our live audience takes in Lindsey's story, hear how her words resonate with them. We're excited to hear how they resonate with you, too. Jot down feelings, revelations, and moments of clarity – whether they bring solace or discomfort - and then share them with us in the comments!🎙️✨
