I always say if you stay at the job for the health care, you will surely need the health care! Our bodies will start giving us clues...nagging health issues, or chronic...listen to what you are being shown. I think it's often better to take less stressful, lower paying job, rather than stay in toxic job. As sometimes we stay longer than we should and then burnout so bad, we can't move forward. I say this as a survivor of academia. Meditation and prayer are key to allow our minds space to know the next steps...inner peace is key.

I feel you. I left a trauma causing job at a prestigious university after only 8 months there and I'm currently on month 12 of my career break. I pretty much said, "I don't need to deal with this shit" and bounced. I am in the process of securing a job making way less but like you said, peace of mind is the key.

I’m working on an FMLA application right now. I’ve been recuperating from the flu, still taking calls and answering emails. Got called out my name by one of my board directors. I’ve been on auto-pilot ever since. Accelerating my two-year exit plan to “as soon as possible.”

I’ve been on leave since January of this year due to high stress, anxiety & depression related to my job, Call center customer service! I started with FMLA & now using Short term disability benefits until June. My primary Dr. Approved me for 12 weeks at first then I recently got an 8 week extension. I’m 43 & in Northern California by the way, I plan on getting unemployment for a while afterwards while Transitioning to a career that I can enjoy. Those symptoms are getting better since I’ve been off from work but you do have to make sure your Dr’s understand how severe the job is to your health. I hope this helps & wishing you the best.

Check to see if your state offers paid medical leave or if your job has short term disability

When you are a black women who is educated and unmarried, with out children we can put too much focus on our jobs and our jobs become our identity. So it can be hard to walk away even when it doesn't serve us, we have to pray, have faith and make the necessary moves. Thank you ladies for such an insightful and impactful conversation.

I'm in the UK, but this message and others are universal no matter where you are. Thank you ladies!

My wake up call is when I asked for a promotion after earning my BA this past December, I was told that maybe I've evolved as much as I can in the department and I should look for a job at another institution. Mind you I work in one of the biggest hospitals in NY. Then I went on a job interview at another hospital closer to where I live, was told I would be perfect for the job. Meanwhile they hired someone else. I am 51 been in the healthcare arena for close to 30 years and at my current job for almost 20. I'm just over it all. I'm planning to be out of here by next year. I should probably do a KZread video about this instead of venting about it here 😅

I’m there!!! I must register for this summit! At 63, it’s scary to step out of a job I’ve had for 14 years that with latest owners taking over, has become a place of INSANITY!!!! Gotta get out….my eyes are being destroyed!

My job wasn't a great job I worked at a behavioral health hospital. Low pay high risk physically & emotionally. But I felt I had to go because it was all I had. I was in debt. I dreaded going into work everyday. I walked in one day to a code being called and found myself fighting with a mentally Ill patient. I quit that day no savings, in debt, and trying to find another job. I went back to caregiving which was draining. So now I'm pursuing the speaking career I've always wanted. But I'm struggling doing side hustles.

I'm not in a toxic environment. I work from home as an insurance nurse. But I feel I have hit a glass ceiling and there are no roads to advancing or pivoting within the company.

Stephanie, starting out, you made about $700 as a virtual assistant. Thank you for your honesty. So many people who make money on digital platforms these days all claim straight out the gate they make "six and seven figures". I know great money can be made I know that. Viewers, subscribers just want the truth and not fabrications. Thanks for the truth. I'm so tired of the fabrications and lying. Thanks for the truth Stephanie. Thank you.

I wouldn’t say my job is toxic, im just no longer aligned with it. I’ve done the same type of work since my early 20s and I’ll soon be 32. Plus, I’m extremely overwhelmed and feel stretched thin

Im 57yra old.. I droce public transpotation 15yrs..then i started doing homecare. Still... Not happy..not making $$. .psycheck to paycheck..behind on bills .just STRUGGLING...im ready to move on!! Blood pressure is high. I gotta do something different!!!

I took a health leave due to stress from my last job. Thankfully I had a good doctor who actually recommended it and she managed my care with the mental health practitioners. As black women we often hide our suffering. Be very open and honest with your doctors so they came fully fill out the paperwork. If they don’t support you, find someone else. Also be sure to report physical symptoms like lack of sleep and increased blood pressure, etc. It’s all interrelated.

I resigned from my toxic job in the middle of Covid after they totally dismissed the fact that I had been in a near fatal accident 2 years prior, followed by the sudden death of my adopted dad who was helping me recover from the accident. I truly felt liberated as I preparing my 2 weeks' notice that I would be giving them. On my last day, I skipped...YES, I said skipped, into the office to return all of my remote work equipment with a HUGE grin on my face!!

I came across this video at the right time. It is so soothing to my damaged heart.

I have been learning and encouraged to live a lifestyle that feeds my spirit! That model of waiting till I’m 65 is a fantastical dream killer.

Such a timely video for me.. thank y'all for sharing your stories!

So happy i came across this video! I was let go from my job because of "job commitment" while I had complained about low pay and an imbalanced workload as compared to my nonblack coworkers. I was actually planning to leave, but this job had filled my head with thoughts that i was their star employee...all while they were treating the other people better. They had also let go the only other two black women employees. I started to think maybe i was wrong for speaking up and that maybe the mistreatment was in my head. But no. These companies arent loyal and esp to black people. No matter how good you are, youre still black at the end of the day. So now I'm getting ready to leave the US in the next few months. I have a daughter. And i just cant let her live in this society.

I love these episodes!!! More, more and more of this please!!! 💃🏿

Glad mental health professionals are talking about this…. Been there… recovering from my time in the mental health and social work world…. I quit 3 yrs ago…

I'm so thankful to have found this channel 🙏🏽

I stayed on my job too long and I stayed with my family too long and neither served me I have a plan to save money make money and have ease in my life 1. Mind set 2. Let life and learning all flow As soon as I start my goals I’m joining the Ladies on these platforms summits to increase the income stream

I'm in the pharma industry looking at legal contracts all day and I hate it. I want to move to Costa Rica or somewhere out of the US.

I’ve had so many toxic jobs, 2 of them I filed complaints with EEOC. Only to be undermined and not believed, even with proof from emails of harassment. I used to be so embarrassed jumping jobs, and how others would perceive me.

We DEFINITELY need to look at the definitive numbers because it makes it so much more REAL that leaving is possible! ✨

I’m working on mine for this Year!

I’m ready to exit. 😢

Just turned 55 and have 7 years to retirement with a Teacher's pension in Maryland. Looking at Maryland jobs b/c my time will transfer. There are many things I can do but the search is work itself. I can't complain b/c I only looked but haven't applied to anything. Coulda, woulda, shoulda! You know that feeling when you know what you want to do but don't have the training? The income isn't there for Data entry, logistics, research assistant. Other days, I feel like I can manifest ANYTHING!

Grief is part of the process

After listening to this Vlog/interview I know that I’m not fully healed from everything that happened to me on that Toxic job!

I was 'let go' on a bogus 5-day suspension (this was not the first one I've been threatened with) after working for and contributing to a black male-owned plumbing company for 10 years. so many traps were set for me to fall in by the owner and it just got to be too many land mines for me to dodge. I've been mentally emotionally & financially targeted, threatened and abused by this man for 10 years and yesterday was the last straw. I had to get all of my things out of my office and had to leave under the threat of him standing there in my office, telling me to "get out, get out". I didn't know what he was going to do.. as I skimmed the office, trying to get my stuff and go.. but I know what he is capable of.

This is for me❤

Omg I wish I had found this 4 years ago. Exactly what I went through day after day on a job I had been on 19 years. You are so right leave and never look back.
