I reached that moment myself several years ago.
At the time, everything in my life was changing at once.
My marriage was ending.
I was navigating the emotional weight of divorce, alongside grief and the natural shifts that come with midlife.
It was a period of uncertainty.
But also, in hindsight, a period of awakening.
For the first time in many years, I had to step back and look at my life honestly.
Not from the perspective of what I had built.
But from the perspective of what I truly wanted next.
