At the end of 2021, while I was working at my old job, I was struggling with my mental health, personal issues, and paying bills. I felt so lost in life and was so unhappy with my situation. Up until this point, I made excuses for why I couldn’t leave my job and pursue posting on social media full time. Excuses like, “What if I don’t make money? What if I can’t pay my bills? What if I embarrass myself? What if it doesn’t work out?” In December of 2021, it finally hit me that I didn’t have much to lose. Either I stay at my job that makes me unhappy or I leave it and find something that does. I hit rock bottom, and although it was scary, it forced and motivated me to work hard and build an entirely new life. I was able to pursue my dreams fearlessly because I had nothing to lose. In today’s episode, I share my experience with leaving my job and why I think sometimes hitting rock bottom is a blessing in disguise. If you’ve been in a funk, struggling mentally, or feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, listen to this episode as motivation.
