STORYSLAM: POINT OF NO RETURN

CROSSING THE RUBICON 

Have you ever made a choice that changed everything? A moment where the door slammed shut behind you, and the only way out was going through? On Thursday, April 30th, we are gathering for a ZST mainstage evening of true stories about those life-altering leaps, irreversible decisions, and the glorious (or disastrous;-) aftermath of saying "why not!"

"Ships are safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are built for." — John A. Shedd

ARE YOU ALL IN?

We’ve all stood on that edge. Maybe it was the moment you finally hit "un-subscribe" from an unfulfilling job, the night you committed to a FWB "situationship," or that impulsive decision to move outside the city where there's only one bus per hour. Once you roll the dice, there’s no turning back. Whether you ended up exactly where you needed to be or found yourself in a completely unexpected reality, we want to hear your truth.

MOMENTS OF NO RETURN:

• The Leap of Faith: That career pivot or international move that felt like jumping without a parachute.

• The Bridge Burned: When you finally stood your ground, spoke your truth, and knew things would never be the same.

• The Point of Impact: A split-second decision—heroic, hilarious, or heartbreaking—that changed forever who you are today.
