I've been thinking about this quote from one of our past speakers, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at truly change.” – Lindsey Dancygier. It’s only February, but I’ve realised how much my mindset around the start of the year has shifted. I used to see these months as gloomy, slow, something to just get through. But it is still the beginning of a brand new year. There’s space here to reset, to grow, and to notice the small wins as they come, even on the grey days. Trying to focus less on the big picture pressure and more on the quiet progress along the way ✨

One thing I’ve really taken from the recent sessions is that clarity usually comes after you start, not before. Especially for Gen Z, there’s so much pressure to choose the “right” path early, but most growth happens through trying, learning, and adjusting. Change doesn’t have to feel heavy. It can be exploratory. Skills carry, nothing is as permanent as it feels, and staying value led gives you something solid to move from! If you’re in a season of change, what’s one thing it’s already teaching you?
