Sunday thoughts as I set out to kick off a new adventure this week.
While I'm not fully ready to announce, I will say it's an area I may never have explored if not for the events of the past year.
Here are my biggest takeaways thus far:

Here are my biggest takeaways thus far:
1. No job is worth sacrificing your mental health.
That's it.
That's it.
2. Plan financially.
It's never ok for an employer to leverage scare tactics such as "at least you still have a job" to overwhelm you with more responsibility with no additional compensation or adjustment to your workload.

You will only be criticized by those doing LESS than you.
LFG!
