One year ago today, I made one of the most courageous decisions of my life for my mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
I walked away from a very toxic situation by quitting my job. It wasn’t the work itself I was leaving, it was the leadership. I truly loved what I did, and I was damn good at it, too (something I’m still reminded of regularly by many others still caught in their web).
By the time I finally stepped away, I was completely depleted. I felt traumatized, deeply anxious, severely depressed, and yes, more s*icidal than I had ever been before (which I didn’t know was even possible).
But that decision became the beginning of a new chapter, one where I chose myself, my healing, and my worth.
Tonight, I raised a glass to the strength it took to choose myself in that moment of courage, alongside some of the beautiful friendships that came out of it.
I carry deep gratitude for those connections, for where that decision has led me, and for the healing, growth, and light that followed.
Cheers to new chapters, and to never losing sight of our worth 🥂
