Ever since college first became a subject of consideration in my sixth-grade classroom, I knew that above all else, I needed to get out of Idaho.

No matter how much I tried to convince myself that maybe staying in my home state wouldn t be so bad, I couldn t help but feel like my potential lied somewhere beyond state lines. For the next several years of my K-12 education, I had managed to figure out that I wanted to study film, but what I truly wanted to get out of my college experience was still a blur.
It wasn t until I went to a small art gallery in Salt Lake City that I began to seriously consider going to the University of Utah. My short experience in the gallery gave me an incredible amount of insight into the bustling local creative scene, and I felt like I belonged.

Over the course of reading two books, I got some important tips and reminders about taking risks, creating success, and being cognizant of those women following in our career footsteps.
In “Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms” by Shellye Archambeau, women get the nudge even friendly shove they need to build their network, work on their personal brand, ditch forever the idea that work-life balance is achievable, and focus on the career attainment they want without apologizing for it.
What resonates with me is the trusting in your own plan that Archambeau advocates, regardless of what path other people think is more suitable for you personally or for that time period in your life. From family-planning and financial decision-making to deciding how to spend your free time, Archambeau places them all on the trajectory toward gaining the success you want.
