In this episode of Third Fork, Tansley and Ryan explore what it means to be adaptive in both work and home life—and how flexibility can open the door to meaningful growth and new opportunities. They also unpack the potential pitfalls of moving too fast, including what can happen when we don’t pause to consider the humans we’re working alongside. Drawing on personal experience, Tansley reflects on early career stretch opportunities that shaped her perspective, while together they discuss how to set healthy boundaries around flexibility—embracing development and change without losing balance, clarity, or care for others.
