Episode notes
Amalia is 22 and finding her way through a period of exhaustion and uncertainty. In this audio story, she reflects on a moment when everything felt paused - and the quiet decision that followed.
This story traces a gentle shift rather than a sudden change. It touches on returning to education, learning to stay instead of running, and discovering a sense of direction where there hadn’t been one before.
Nursing emerges not as an ambition, but as something that makes sense in light of what she’s lived through.
A calm, reflective piece about choice, care, and the slow work of beginning again.
