Caught between resisting change, rushing into it, or just trying to keep up, this night is for anyone wondering how to stay grounded in a world (and mind) that never stops moving.

Part travelogue, part identity safari, part comedic misadventures — This is a front-row seat to the messy, brutal and unexpectedly funny ride of change when reinvention wasn’t on the schedule.

Writer and speaker Vanessa K. draws from two gap years — across continents, career shift, and internal plot twists — to share useful, practical (at times ironic) ways to figure your life and career out in an age where nothing feels certain.

This is a beta test kind of night: unfinished stories, real-time riffing, and your honest feedback will help shape her upcoming projects.

What to Expect:

• Raw readings from essays-in-progress
• Travel photos and other souvenirs from two years on the road
• Spontaneous riffs and few confessions 
• Open Q&A and crowd feedback 

This night is for the curious, the restless, the rethinking — or anyone who’s ever felt allergic to five-year plans.
