Margo says broadcast journalism once sparked her interest, but concerns about living in New York and earning enough led her into sales. 6. Margo describes a routine of working nine to five, going home, and going to the gym while still missing the childhood feeling of being lit up by an activity. 7. Megan and Margo identify job promotions, social media, drinking, and romantic attention as sources of external validation that can temporarily fill a void. 8.

Margo recommends writing down activities that bring joy and strengths, then looking for places where the two lists align. 10.

Megan argues that a hobby does not need to make money, although it can later become a podcast, book, or side hustle. 13.
