It's Not A Dream Job If It Costs You Your Mental Health
Manage episode 488123707 series 2838965
In this deeply personal episode of Unleash Your Voice, I’m sharing the story I’ve never told in full: How my so-called “dream job” as a TV anchor nearly broke me. From the outside, I had it all: a high-profile role, a steady voice on morning shows, and a path I’d worked toward since childhood. But behind the scenes? It was costing me my mental health.
If you’ve ever found yourself in a role you once wanted more than anything, only to feel drained, diminished, or disconnected—you are not alone. I walk you through my journey: from delivering newspapers as a kid to anchoring the news, enduring microaggressions and toxic leadership, and finally making the bold leap into a new chapter that aligned with my worth, values, and mental health.
This episode is for anyone questioning whether they’re meant for more and needing permission to choose themselves.
✨ What you'll hear:
- The behind-the-scenes truth of my newsroom career (and what finally pushed me to leave)
- How therapy, storytelling, and community helped me reclaim my power
- Why building a Power Story isn’t just about getting the next job, it’s about remembering who you are
- Why leaving a toxic job is not failure, it can be the start of your next chapter
This one’s for anyone who feels stuck in a job that’s draining their spirit. You’re not imagining it. You’re not alone. And you deserve better.
🔗 Plus, I’m sharing my free on-demand Power Story Masterclass here to help you start crafting a story that reflects your full power, potential, and voice.
Because no job is worth your peace. And your story? It’s the key to unlocking the future you deserve.
