I'm so proud of you for making the decision to quit!! I quit my job in October because I was terribly depressed, wasn't sleeping, anxious all the time, etc. I've been living off of my savings (with the support of my partner too, I know these are big privileges) but I've had time to read and paint and cook and actually spend time looking for a job that will be a good fit for me. It's been so nice, and I'm happy you'll get to have that too.
I am in the exact same situation. Left my toxic job in October and with the support of my partner and my savings I have been really taking the time to look for something I feel good about doing. It’s a scary situation to leave a job without another one lined up but it’s comforting to know that I am not the only one who took a leap of faith for themselves. ❤ Good luck to you on your journey!
I know this is only a small part of what you covered, but I have to say: companies that are so dead set on having people back in the office are going to be their own downfall. That's the fastest way to lose talent these days. Office culture isn't what it was (thank god lol) and it's just so annoying to me that there are some companies still trying to force that instead of just retaining good employees!
I am totally sure you don't remember me from college, but I am SO happy for you! You absolutely deserve the freedom, balance, and (hopefully) joy this will bring! Having a child completely changed my work-life perspective, I was absolutely in the same boat and now I work 35 hours a week from home, with 0 regrets. I hope it's everything you want and more.
The pandemic was eye opening for my mental and physical health. I was able to start my family during that time, and I was planning to be a stay at home mom, but found a job that was from home and worked with my family! Its honestly so amazing to be around my daughter to experience all the moments with her while still having something to feel professionally fulfilled at the same time.
I’m so happy for you! It’s awesome that you have the self awareness to know what you need for YOU. Not everyone has that. I’m so happy and excited for you! I can’t wait to watch you continue to thrive!
i just want to say that i find this video so incredibly inspiring. i was also a gifted kid who has spent my entire life being busy. working full time, having a side hustle, getting my Masters. my home is in shambles and i eat takeout more often than i don’t. my job has also transitioned us going back to the office, which has just been an extra layer of difficult after 3 years of working from home. i’m terrified to try something new but i know something has to change. i can’t wait to see what you create with Sierra! and i hope this next chapter is amazing ☺️
This is such an incredible thing you are doing for yourself!!! You will love what you discover about yourself over the coming weeks/months/years! I made a step toward something similar recently, refusing to work outside my scheduled hours or while on PTO, it’s truly freeing walking away from work knowing the handcuffs are unlocked.
CONGRATS! You seem so content and at peace with this decision and I wish you nothing but the best in what’s to come! You’re going to find so much fulfillment in other aspects of life you haven’t had the time to explore!
I’m in a job that is horrible for my mental health currently. I do get a good amount of vacation though. I’m taking 3 weeks off for my wedding/honeymoon in June. After that I plan to go into full on job hunting mode and can’t wait.
I think these huge life moments (like weddings) are really big eye openers. Like, you should be able to enjoy those things without worrying about work!!
Way to go Rachel! Glad you are trying to find your happiness. ❤ Work takes so much out of us, even if it's work related to things we love. Hope you can find your best work-life balance!!!
I’m rooting for you and hope this gives you the peace and joy you deserve. Also hopefully this means that next time I randomly am in LA we can get to meet or if you ever in Florida let me know!
Hi Rachel! I relate sooo much! I've been working at the same place for over 10 years and the work is great and the people are great but I feel like I have NO life. I've been thinking about quiting for years but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Hopefully some day. I also started a youtube channel and I also edit at nights and on the weekends 😂. It was also really hard for me to leave my house and to comute again after the pandemic. Also, I got pregnant during the pandemic, so having my baby at home makes it even harder for me to leave every day. Filming a video with the title like yours is my dream ❤. If I ever achieve it, I'll let you know. 💕. No, wait, let me write that again... WHEN I achieve it I'll let you know haha. Hugs from México.
I made the decision (emotionally) about leaving my job when my contract ends and I KNOW the feeling of being in a wonderful work environment, but also being mentally/emotionally exhausted. But I will ABSOLUTELY be routing for you and living vicariously through you for the next few months until it’s my turn to leave. And (selfishly) I LOVE your content and I’m excited to see more 😈😘❤️❤️❤️
Yes! She was (and is!) amazing. She had a baby during the pandemic so she wasn’t working after that which is the only reason I didn’t hire her back. But basically she was like a housekeeper on steroids, she did laundry, dishes, household chores, grocery shopped and meal prepped. Basically everything I needed to do but didn’t have time for. I’ve never been able to find someone else like her since.
I'm around the same age as you, and also having some of the same mental shifts. I think we work hard for approval for so many years, trying to be productive enough, good enough, and smart enough, because "the world" tells us so many things about what "success" means. But do "those" people experience happiness in their own lives? Are they lost as well? And when panic attacks set in, will we finally listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us? We matter as people, just for the fact that we exist, and not just for what we can produce. Productivity and work are good, especially when we are given creative freedom, but rest and prioritizing family/friends are also important. We need to stop running toward some distant goal of perceived "success" and find peace.
i am so so happy for you! i became a follower of yours bc of sierra and i will say it’s been amazing seeing you in her main channel videos as well as watching your own. you inspire me to follow my own dreams 🥹

Omg look at us! This is amazing. I’m fascinated that this is so common. I hope you both find the perfect fit for you 💕
@@RachelRambles Thanks! Your video was the reminder I needed today that I did this for a reason.

I couldn’t agree more! Unfortunately a lot of people feel the opposite which is so crazy to me.

So happy for you that you were able to put yourself and your health and happiness first.
This, this, this! Looking forward to what's to come!
Congrats, Rachel! I can't wait to see where this experience takes you!
This is such an incredible thing you are doing for yourself!!! You will love what you discover about yourself over the coming weeks/months/years!

Im so happy for you!! I love having you in more videos- you're such a fab personality!!

Thank you for this. I relate so much
I’m SO proud of you. I’m in the same boat and seeing you post this has given me hope

Yes!! Manifest that for yourself!! I’m manifesting that for you too 💜💜💜
Oh man this hits home!!

It’s almost your turn!! 💕💕💕
I really love your way of talking
Congrats! This is going to be so amazing! ❤
This is totally unrelated but gosh I love your hair color!
Haha thank you!! I’m not quite done with it but I’m definitely happy with the direction it is heading.
It looked great purple, loving this color too, and I’m SUPER excited for the final stage!!
Yay, I’m excited for you! 😊
I’m curious to hear more about a home assistant. I’ve never heard of that before, but it sounds cool!
Yes! She was (and is!) amazing. She had a baby during the pandemic so she wasn’t working after that which is the only reason I didn’t hire her back. But basically she was like a housekeeper on steroids, she did laundry, dishes, household chores, grocery shopped and meal prepped. Basically everything I needed to do but didn’t have time for. I’ve never been able to find someone else like her since.
Wow, that’s fantastic!
Proud of you! And so happy for you! ❤️❤️
Thanks Terra 🥰
