“You can’t do that to your parents”

Never let someone else stand in your way of fulfilling your dreams. Growing up in the Northeast I made up my mind early that I would attend college somewhere in the South. I wanted a new experience. I can still remember the reaction I got from friends’ moms when I proudly told them I was off to Baton Rouge, LA for my junior and senior years of college. “You can’t do that to your parents.” “You are going even FARTHER away from home?!” Watch me, I thought to myself! It had nothing to do with the relationship I had with my parents (it’s wonderful in case you’re wondering). Instead, it had everything to do with following my dreams.

Well, as you can probably imagine, it was shocking for our friends and family to find out that we were moving to San Francisco five years ago. “But you’ve already established a practice.” “Do you know anyone in SF?” We’ll build a bigger and better practice and meet a lot of people, we thought to ourselves!
