Alia’s approach toward work and life

Alia discussed her evolving approach to life and work, particularly after her twenties. She reflected on the transformation in her mindset, contrasting it with her younger self. Her introspection is evident. "When I was young...I'm still young, but when I was in my 20s, I was all over the place, trying to do everything. At 17, 18, I was way more enthusiastic and full of beans, and trying very hard, because that's normal. And now, more than a decade later, the way you look at a situation changes. I'm still enthusiastic and full of beans, but the approach is more silent, it comes with a little more intent. Part of me wants to hold on to the girl at 18 who was brave and fearless, who had no idea of how things would pan out, who had no answers, who would enter a room and give it her all. I think now with success, with failure, with knowing, sometimes you tend to become a little more tentative."
