E116: Curious Careerland: When You Can’t Tell What You’re “Meant” to Do
One moment you’re chasing a dream.
The next, you’re questioning if it was ever yours to begin with.
In this episode of Borderline in Wonderland, we tumble through the twists and turns of career identity crises, purpose panic, and those all-too-familiar existential spirals. Especially for folks living with BPD or deep emotional wiring, finding your “calling” can feel like trying to read a map that keeps rearranging itself.
We explore:
- The fear of choosing wrong, too late, or not at all
- The overwhelm of infinite potential colliding with paralyzing doubt
- Why careers feel personal—when maybe they were supposed to be practical
- How to separate your voice from the noise of expectation, urgency, and shame
This one’s for the wanderers of Curious Careerland. The ones who’ve felt behind, too scattered, too intense, or not enough. The ones still searching for something that feels like home.
You don’t have to “figure it all out.”
You just have to keep following what feels honest.

🗝️✨ I was never supposed to tell this story. But I am.For years, I lived inside someone else’s version of my life — wrapped in secrets, silences, and bedtime stories that left too much out.
Now I’m writing the truth. Unlocked is my autobiography about adoption, anxiety, family fractures, and the journey of reclaiming my voice.
I’m raising funds to professionally edit, design, print, and share this book with people who need to know they’re not alone.
If you’ve ever been called too sensitive, too dramatic, too much — this book is for you.And if you believe in the power of truth, I’d be so grateful if you could help me bring it into the world.
