Losing your footing in a new field doesn’t mean you’ve lost your value. It means you’re rebuilding it on a new foundation.

Have you ever found yourself starting over like that?

You trade certainty for curiosity. And while that trade stings, it builds something better: humility, empathy, and a grounded kind of confidence — the kind you earn, not assume.

But there’s growth hidden in that discomfort. You start listening closer, learning faster, and noticing details others overlook because they’ve stopped questioning them.

It’s uncomfortable. It messes with your sense of competence — that inner belief that you’ve got things figured out. The ego doesn’t enjoy being a beginner again.

Any news about Mandeville? We lived there a year when I was a kid. Haven't seen any news on that part of the country. 😕
