“Lean into the stuff that makes you uncomfortable. For me, early on, it was the numbers. I adopted an internal narrative that because I didn’t excel in ‘math’ as a student, I wasn’t as capable as others. It’s funny how that stuff can stick. I surrounded myself with people I could learn from and once I put the time in, running a P&L became something I enjoy the most about my job. That and a career, in my experience, is not linear. I have accelerated, paused, and taken steps ‘back’. Sometimes it was because different parts of my life were the priority and sometimes it was just the ebb and flow of opportunity. Stick with it, keep going.”
