Don't chase a path that looks good just because you feel like you're supposed to

Andrea shares an honest lesson from her early 20s: Don't chase a path that looks good just because you feel like you're supposed to. If it feels empty, take a moment to figure out why. She encourages you to get real with yourself, and choose a version of success that truly matters to you. You can listen to more of her discussion with Quincy on the freeCodeCamp podcast.
