When Life Forces You to Reset: Lessons from the Summer of 1988

There comes a point in almost everyone’s life when the original plan no longer works.

In this episode, I reflect on one of the first major personal resets I experienced during the summer of 1988. What began as a simple return home after my freshman year of college quickly turned into a season of unexpected change. My support system disappeared, my transportation plans fell apart, and I had to decide whether I still believed in the future I had chosen.

More importantly, I explore what that experience taught me about resilience, independence, and making better decisions when life gives you better information.

If you’re navigating a career transition, recovering from a setback, or simply trying to figure out your next move, this conversation is a reminder that a reset isn’t always the end of the story. Sometimes it’s the beginning of a better one.
