I quit my job...without another lined up // healing my mental health

I hopped on the "escape the matrix" bandwagon 2 months ago - and it has been an incredibly eye opening and transformative period of my life. I didn't have a job lined up when I quit so I have been getting creative with making an income (which I will share in future videos), but most importantly, I've been forced to dive inwards and unlearn a lot of what capitalism taught us.

thank you for being on this journey with me.

I quit my job back in September 2023 and have been on a 5 month vacation ever since, I’m living off my savings until March. It’s so relieving not going to work the next day or dealing with annoying co-workers. I’ve had a lot of time to reflect and figure out my next move. Wish you luck on your future endeavors 💪🏽😎 we got this!

I just need the courage to walk and never look back. I deeply hate what I do for a living. This isn't what I envisioned 😢 and it's just not doing it for me. I'm mentally and and physically drained! 😪

Watching this as I am sitting at my corporate job. Freaking out and scared about leaving this job because I have a baby and a 2k rent bill and credit cards and everything else 😩😩😩😩

I’m proud of you Anais. Everybody y’all remember, YOU come first🤝

[pamelaandem]

Watching this and I’m honestly tearing up because how is this so accurate with what I’m facing. Just quit my 9-5 job with no job or money lined up and this just made me feel better❤️ Thank you so much for sharing

You are on the right path young lady. I'm 59 and a half and after 30 years of dedicated service as a coordinator in the Document Services Department at a now defunct law firm, on Thanksgiving Day I received an email telling me I was terminated. Corporate America does not play fair and unfortunately, I was too scared to act on it. in my younger years I see you young people are rewriting the rule book. Good for you, the Universe will send you where you need to be.

I cope by working out at home, yoga and reconnecting and deeply diving into my relationship with self and with God. I have been feeling this way for so long, I'm just now allowing myself to breathe and to come into peace and understanding with my physical and mental health. Thank you for this video!

I just resigned from a Good paying job last week effective immediately.
I had lost my folks both in junior high and had a strong sense of independence AND self preservation from a young age of 14.
Its Okay to have doubts but I maintain that when Ur selfworth, ambition takes the Driver's seat....
Nothing is impossible.
At the Age of 34 now, I'm embarking on a very scary and rewarding studies in architecture.Let Providence Guide Me 🙏

been asking for a sign for quitting my job, but i feel like me asking for a sign is the sign! thank you for this piece of advice! blessings to you and your journey 🩷

This is a great video. I see that my daughter has the same mindset. She was in college (a renowned HBCU) and after one semester she realized she was not fulfilled. She moved into her own apartment with the help of her parents and had me paying the rent lol. The more she got up every morning to go to class, the more she realized that her destiny was paving a very different blueprint. She told me her plans and the minute I came to remove the last bit of items out of her apartment, she began her journey to self entrepreneurship. She has not stopped and continues to work on HER dreams, instead of someone else's. That to me is the meaning of a true girl boss lol :) You're definitely an inspiration and I will continue to follow you on your journey...Loving the hair by the way chica!!

Watching this after having a breakdown twice this week! Been praying alot and getting more opportunities with my side hustle. So I am taking this as a sign! Thank you for this video for it is so relatable and hits home.

Most people don’t work for an employer thinking they’re making someone else rich. They’re doing it as a trade for a salary so they can live. Unless someone has a regular income from somewhere, savings, or a partner who has an income, it’s almost impossible to just quit their job.

You literally have a powerful and star quality . Thank you for sharing this .I resigned from my job without something lined up too. I am terrified but my intuition told me it sad time to leave and prioritize myself and my mental health and I am proud of that and proud of you !!❤❤

My favorite quote about this topic “The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable.” ❤ this is just the beginning of an amazing life ahead of you!
