On this episode of the podcast, we discuss how leaving a career is not an easy decision, but it's important to prioritize your happiness and well-being. You want to start looking at if there are more negatives than positives in your work, if you keep saying to yourself, "it will get better," and listen to the signs your body might be giving you. It's important to take action and start exploring new opportunities, even if it's just researching online or talking to people in different fields. Never forget, you have the power to create the life and career you want.
