There was definitely a time when I felt a quiet pull toward something bigger—but I didn't know if I was "allowed" to chase it. Life had me settling into roles that felt safe: helping others, serving in the moment, and meeting expectations. The pull I felt was subtle at first, almost like a whisper saying, there's more for you. What helped me acknowledge it was giving myself permission to feel that longing without judgment. I realized that wanting more didn't mean I was ungrateful for what I had—it meant I was capable of creating something meaningful on my own terms. That shift changed everything. It gave me the courage to leave old patterns behind, embrace risk, and build FCB—a space that reflects who I am, what I value, and the kind of impact I want to make.
