Are you overwhelmed by the pressure to have your entire future mapped out?

In a world that demands a five-year plan, the journey between college and a career can feel more like a race against a clock that doesn't exist. The pressure to succeed is immense, and the path forward is often clouded by ambiguity, anxiety, and the paralyzing fear of making the wrong choice. It's a chaotic space where even the most ambitious plans can lead to burnout and self-doubt.

Here you will find the deeply personal and inspiring journey of an aspiring clinical neuropsychologist who faced this chaos head-on. After meticulously planning her life down to the last detail to get into medical school, she made the terrifying decision to say no and walk away. This wasn't because she couldn't succeed, but because she discovered her true calling required a different path-one she had to create for herself.

Purpose Over Pressure is a raw and honest testimony to the struggle of redefining success. It's a story about confronting the anxiety of the unknown, learning to give yourself credit for your accomplishments, and finding the courage to pivot when your heart points you in a new direction.

This book is an empathetic and guiding hand for anyone who feels lost, whether you have a detailed plan that no longer feels right or you don't have a clue where to start. It's a testament that you don't have to have all the answers. You just need to take the next step.

If you are ready to trade stress and uncertainty for clarity and confidence, let this journey be the guide for your own.
