emphasized the high price of living life on autopilot: life itself. She shared her personal journey of self-discovery and inspired the audience to shift from a passive existence to one of intentional living.
She eloquently spoke about the signs of dissatisfaction that often go unnoticed in our daily grind and how they are invitations to reflect, realign, and grow. She encouraged students and faculty alike to embrace challenges as opportunities for recalibration and to pursue a life driven by purpose rather than habit.
