What are your earliest childhood memories? 

Often, there's an invisible thread running through our lives, connecting various life events in ways we could never imagine at the time. 

Revisiting your earliest childhood memories can inspire appreciation for decisions you made that didn't make sense to others or even yourself at the time. 

In this brief episode, I share a pair of early childhood memories that helped explain my meandering approach to career decisions (from Chapter 2 of my memoir, When Sex Meets God: A Midlife Unraveling)

Some might have labeled me a hacker as I went from financial planning to nonprofit fundraising to consulting, all the while engaged in community activism on the side. 

While suffering through my midlife unraveling, I discovered my need to avoid becoming trapped, especially in other people's ideas about me. 

An instinct for freedom was a primary driver of my life.
