222. I quit law school. Then I quit my PhD.
Episode 222
Sunday, 11 January, 2026
I quit law school, then quit my PhD - and spent years wondering if that made me a quitter or just someone on the wrong path. In this episode of EDIT HISTORY, my friend Jennifer Ho interviews me as I open up about the parts of my journey that never show up on a resume: The guilt of disappointing my Asian parents, wanting to look "successful," and learning to make decisions that I am proud of. This is a conversation about high-functioning doubt, career pivots, and choosing work you can stand behind - even when it doesn't immediately make sense to others.
