It’s 2023, and I don’t care about my job.

On the surface, I’m crushing it.

But on the inside, I feel irritable, I want to snap constantly and I dread getting out of bed in the morning. My confidence is at an all-time low. I feel like crying every time someone speaks to me (and sometimes I do). It feels like a constant battle to get through the working day.

One day, at an after-work networking event in the middle of a room filled with people, I have the worst panic attack I’ve ever experienced in my life. My hands and legs are shaking uncontrollably, I can’t stand up, and I feel like I’m about to pass out.

The next morning, I know that something needs to change.

I hit a breaking point where it was too late — I ended up needing to leave the job and industry I loved to recover, and it was a long road.

When I look back, there were so many signs: an insane amount of sick days, poor sleep, utter exhaustion, apathy about things I once had so much energy for, worsening relationships, physical issues and so much more.

The signs were all there, I just chose to ignore them. And, to be honest, I wouldn’t really have known what to do about them anyway.

Now, I help others experiencing these things to catch them early and avoid reaching breaking point like I did. And if, like me, you’ve reached the stage where it’s too late and you’re on the road to recovery, I’m here to help you get back to a fulfilling life that doesn’t feel like a constant struggle.

I shared more of my story in a podcast episode of Making Cents, which you can listen to here.

Any of this resonate with you?
