18 months ago, I was struggling to pay bills because I was in a shit job and being used by my company. Today I just absolutely CRUSHED this fiscal half and have accelerated my earnings by 2x over my best year ever at my old job. I have a boss that cares and teaches me and understands my struggles and gave me time to learn. I know that’s rare, but I also feel I can be honest with him about my goals and aspirations and when I feel I need to ask for help and not be ashamed.

I say all this to say, life sucks sometimes. Don’t doubt yourself because of what existential circumstances may be or what shit hand you may have gotten dealt this round. Fold your cards and live to fight another day and get your life back! Don’t let someone else’s thoughts dictate your self worth. You have skills and likes and things you’re good at and enjoy. Find out what those are and find someone willing to pay you for that.

I was so low I doubted whether I should even be in my career field and now I know it wasn’t me as much as I wanted to blame myself. It was a toxic environment, but it was comfortable so I stayed way longer than I should’ve.

You are you and you have a special set of skills no one else has. Do something for yourself, your family, those around you who care and will support you the whole way!

We got you too! 🦾🤙💜
