S1,Ep3: "'Every failure opens another door"

If we are all in a rush to find our purpose, then what's the bloody point in this journey we're on!? In our twenties, we tend to feel lost and in a rush to make something of ourselves, but shouldn't it be the opposite of that? Shouldn't our twenties be the time to explore and try out new jobs!?

On this episode of How to Survive Your Twenties, Sam joins me to talk about her career. Sam worked as a Paralegal following what she thought was her passion in criminal law, to slowly find out that her passion laid elsewhere. Sam shares with us how she found herself almost by accident landing her dream role as an Occupational Therapist, but it wasn't always so straight forward. Initially she faced difficulties whilst studying for her degree, until she found the root cause of her struggles - dyslexia and "fell in love with learning for the first time."

Just goes to show that with a little bit of perseverance and self belief you can find yourself anywhere!
