I had a powerful job. A strong team. Resources to continue my trailblazing research. But I needed something else. A way to let go of the control I had in my everyday life. I just needed someone to understand. I had a plan. My own personal purpose for being at the company. And then she knocked on my door. And things just got a lot more interesting. My family ties made this dangerous, but I wasn't willing to let her go.
