🎧 In this episode: Welcome back to Sparky Life, where we challenge everything you’ve been told about success, college, and the so-called “right” career path. If you’ve ever felt lost, lied to, or stuck in a soul-sucking cubicle — this one’s for you.
This episode is a wake-up call.
You’ve been fed a fairytale — go to college, find your passion, land a job, live happily ever after. But here’s the truth: That system is broken, and Lia’s here to show you the way out.
💥 Lia gets raw about:
This is your permission to quit the cubicle.
To throw out the script.
To choose a path that actually pays — in dollars, dignity, and freedom.
