“Don’t be afraid to start again. This time, you’re not starting from scratch — you’re starting from experience.” — Unknown
Wow… I can’t believe it’s been six months already since I started my new job on May 5th.
Time has flown by, but in so many ways, these past months have been about slowly healing and finding peace again.
Each day, I feel myself leaving behind a little more of the pain and trauma from my previous job — a place that made me question my self-worth and left some pretty deep emotional scars. Walking into this new chapter, surrounded by kind, supportive people who make me feel valued, has been nothing short of rejuvenating. It’s amazing what feeling appreciated can do for your spirit. It truly does go such a long way.
Leaving a toxic and unhealthy environment wasn’t easy, but choosing myself, my peace, and my growth was the best decision, especially when hearing from others who I am still in touch with that the shitshow continues to get even worse since I left. Hearing this somehow brings a strange kind of closure. It validates what I felt for so long — that I was doing an amazing job, even if leadership chose not to acknowledge it.
Today, I celebrate growth, self-worth, and finding joy where we once felt empty.
