Here I go. Thoughts of this moment crossed my mind many times. “What will I have to say and how will I say it?” All I can do is be honest. It all began the first week of March 2020. The week I turned 31 years old and finally made it to Denver, CO. A destination I always dreamed of exploring. It came in the form of a work trip. Everything I dreamed of doing the last 10 years was right in front of me. A trip to Denver, a work milestone, and a celebration of life – ALL IN ONE. There I was, a full blown adult, alone, in a lavish Airbnb treehouse on the outskirts of Denver.
That weekend I decided to take a trip to Red Rocks. Got in my Uber and discovered a friendly driver. I expressed to the driver how much I was enjoying the area and culture. He made several suggestions and described the lifestyle benefits and why it would be a great move for someone my age. I fired back with the career challenges I would face to make such a move. My job was in Sports Television and it was going well for me. The job was finally giving me opportunities to travel and manage my own shows. My ultimate goals, or so I thought. I stood there, conflicted, in the middle of this historical amphitheater. My career gave me the opportunity to be here. Thoughts of, “I should be grateful for it”, came to mind.
In that moment I knew something was off and my work in life was not fulfilling me. I needed a push.
