After moving to Washington DC and realizing the limitations of my visa, I confronted the reality that I wasn’t working and felt a disconnection from my professional identity.
At a work event, the contrast between my situation and others' impressive jobs highlighted how much my self-esteem was tied to my work and how I perceived others.
Conversations with other professionals made me question my worth outside of my past identity as a journalist, leading to an exhilarating yet confusing self-exploration.
This transition made me realize that the adventure of moving was also about redefining what fulfillment and success could look like for me in an unfamiliar setting.
