At what point in life did you begin to learn how to know yourself?

It was 2003 and I was miserable. I had a great paying job. Making 6 figures and I was stressed to the max. Life was not fun. At the time, my then husband and I had maxed ourselves out financially. Nice house, fancy cars, pool table, big tv, yada, yada, yada...
"We were living the American dream."
Bullshit.
I was working my ass off to make ends meet. We did all the things. We had a life full of things, yet there was no way that I could change the course that we were on. As I have looked back at that time in my life, I really was out of touch with my intuition.
I was living on auto pilot and not listening to what my heart and soul needed.
I didn't even know how to listen. Even after that marriage ended, it took me another 5 years to even begin to learn, much less understand, what I was missing.
I was still chasing some dream. I had a knowing that there was something "out there" for me.
I had a yearning for more.
I had a desire to walk my own path - to cut through the bullshit and navigate my own course.

I made a ton of mistakes trying to figure it out.
But the lessons... each time I fell flat on my face I learned something new. Something not to do. Something to do differently. Something to change. Simply something.
In that 5 year period I began to learn how to know myself. Separating from a young marriage, stepping out into new pathways, seeking new career and entrepreneurial opportunities, sifting through myths and untruths from childhood and early adulthood, discovering me.
When I look back on that time, I wonder what would have changed if I would have had a guide or mentor to help me navigate those murky and muddy waters.
