2024: The Year I Said “Enough” and Took the Leap
When you finally stop waiting and start believing, your path opens.
2024 will forever be the year I stopped waiting for the “right moment” and trusted in myself. For most of my professional life, I followed a practical path: undergrad, went out into the world for life experience, then onto grad school (MBA), then back off to the real world. I climbed the executive ranks, moved from gig to gig, learned more, did better, and built toward a nebulous "something." But deep down, I knew that "something" wasn’t my dream.
I never felt secure enough to leap into the unknown. There was always a reason: money, timing, fear. The advice was always the same—stay practical, keep steady. And I did, until 2024.
In a moment of clarity, frustration, or perhaps defiance, I decided, to hell with it. I wasn’t going to wait anymore.
I left a job that epitomized why nonprofit arts administration no longer resonated with me. It wasn’t easy—walking away from security never is—but what I’ve gained in the last six months since has been life-changing.
Today, I’m thrilled to share that I am co-producing Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, set to debut on Broadway in 2025. I’m also producing an immersive Wonderland experience with one of the world’s top VFX companies (details coming soon). Both projects light a fire in me that I hadn’t felt in years.
2024 has been the most exciting, fulfilling chapter of my professional life because I trusted myself. I realized that waiting for perfect conditions is a trap. Instead, I bet on the skills, knowledge, and resilience I’ve spent years building—and it’s paying off.
Looking ahead, I know 2025 will be amazing. I don’t know every step of the journey, but I know this: when you choose faith in yourself over fear, abundance will follow.
So here’s to moving forward. Here’s to trusting your dreams. And here’s to a 2025 filled with possibilities and adventure.
