my 9-5 was killing me...so I quit. (results may vary) ft. ForeverGwladys (S3, Ep. 6)

you think feelings are optional...that's why you ain't healing (S3, Ep 7)

How does the saying go again friend? You have to feel it to heal it? I'll be the first to admit...the alternative is much less resistance—initially. But what happens when life forces you to sit still and you start reliving pain from the past? What do you do when turning it off won't work anymore (or when you realize you're so used to being numb you can't even feel the good things?) Let's get triggered.

my 9-5 was killing me...so I quit. (results may vary) ft. ForeverGwladys (S3, Ep. 6)

We are back! On this week's episode we're talking about calculated risks, mental health, and leaps of faith. Now I'm by no means encouraging anyone to quit their job (not in THIS economy!) but I hope that by sharing my own story, you may feel seen and validated if you're experiencing a similar level of burnout with your job. We also have a special guest on the show, ForeverGwladys, who talks to us about her experience taking the leap of faith from her teaching job to creating content full-time.    Follow Gwladys on her socials:  https://www.instagram.com/forevergwladys/ [https://www.instagram.com/forevergwladys/] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiFQKKKJ21IWgwiqP7JXRNQ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiFQKKKJ21IWgwiqP7JXRNQ] https://www.tiktok.com/@forevergwladys [https://www.tiktok.com/@forevergwladys]
