I left my job of 15 years caring for developmentally disabled adults. I was 40 and my husband started doing really well with his job. Im 50 and my husband is doing even better after prayers. So im a house wife taking care of the house 😊 our son is grown. Blessings 💞
Kudos to you for acknowledging the support of your husband to aid you in your journey 🎉🎉🎉
Teamwork makes the dreamwork
God Bless you and your family!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍
❤Love this for you!🙏✝️
I totally understand. I worked in corporate America for 10 yrs and walked away a few yrs ago with out a back up. At first i did have regrets, but it was a blessings because Ive been able to be my moms caregiver and making sure she gets the best care. Yes i miss the coins, but im a momprenuer, and making it work. God got you sis.
It was meant for me to hear this this morning. AMEN! I'll turn 42 in a few weeks. God is guiding towards my new journey. I'm excited and a little scared. I've always believed change is good.😊❤
It’s good to be comfortable with change. GOD bless you in your new journey sis 💕🙏🏾
I quit my old job to go work at the Post Office as a mail carrier. It was a job I always wanted since my younger days & to finally get hired & work was exciting for me. Fast forward after 6 weeks working for USPS, I quit & went back to my old job. It wasn’t what I expected, working outside in all weather conditions & on weekends/holidays wasn’t it, the stress on the body & don’t forget the dogs. At least I tried it & got the experience. Thanks for sharing your story cause your journey is inspiring someone else. I commend you, keep the faith 🙏🏾✨
I did this too sis! Always wanted to work as a mail carrier, did it for a year and hated it 😂 but hey we did it! ❤
How could you not see that coming? 🤦🏽♀️.
@@madameclark3453🎉🎉🎉🎉. Best comment! They both seem like the type of people who watch someone run into a burning building and come out with 3rd degree burns. But they would volunteer to go next🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I did it. Bounced around too many times. Now I'm banned :/ it's too bad because it's one of the better paying jobs in this high poverty area I live in
Ur right sis! You are smart, organized and a planner. I am not worried about you! However, I do pray that GOD blesses you to walk the path HE’S set out for you and your son ❤🙏🏾
I have been a full time entrepreneur for 14 years. My job let me go thankfully in 2007 and I have never looked back. It is a non stop hustle but I would not trade it for anything . God will shake things up to jump you into your purpose faster or you will sit comfortable and miss the blessing. I am so happy for you E!! Get ready for the ride of your life. Feel free to hit me up if you ever need anything. Thank you for being transparent. xoxo
Do you mind sharing what type of business you have? I'm looking for business ideas that will actually make money.
This is called peace. Everyone deserves to take a mental break. Working is exhausting. I’ve left jobs with no jobs quite a few times. So worth it! I actually just started working a new job this week after not working for a few months. It went by too fast lol Congratulations to you! I hope you fully embrace this season of your life. It will be beautiful
First I wanted to say I love your hair and you are gorgeous. I quit my job I was at for 21 years and took 10 months off. One of the best decision I ever made and now I work at home.
You most definitely got this and you absolutely will be ok. I quit my job after 25 years and took a year off before returning to work. Best decision I ever made.
I had to take a two year gap for health reasons. May I ask how you ( or if you had ) to explain your year gap on ur resume and/or interview?
@@danas881 I told them the truth, that I had an opportunity to take a year off from working so I took advantage of it. They really didn't make a big deal about it, thankfully. I believe it's become more common for folks to take time off for a variety of reasons. I hope you are feeling better. 💗
Faith over fear!!
Amen 🙏🏾
@@GlamMzMoreGreat for you Queen you only have one life. You will be just fine. Take your time. Stay Blessed and positive. New subbie here.
Yes. ❤
Absolutely
Congratulations!! So happy for you. I quit my job at 40yrs old and took a year off to start a different career. I had a friend tell me I was crazy for doing it and because of the money I was making I would be missing out. I’ve been in my current field for 12 years now and I’m so happy. Things will work out for the best. And thanks for sharing. ❤
I am also 40 years old and plan on resigning and taking a sabbatical before I turn 41. I am very excited about the transition!💛🌟🙏✝️🕊️
I was laid off of my job being employed there for 15 years. Gods timing is always perfect. Will be turning 60 in a few months but now I get to really be available for my two grand babes ages 3 & 5. Faith and resilience 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 this gammie entrepreneur is on 🔥
So on time. My kids are now over 18 and I’m looking into my next phase of life. I’m 47. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Same here i'm 49 and tired of trucking and the grind currently trying to make changes now!!
I loved your story time because its my story!! I'm 60 yrs young working the same job for 25 yrs due to my 3 sons. I can see the light of day now and plan to leave my job to do what I always wanted to do. Let us keep moving forward with the Lords help.
Your sanity should always be a top priority. I left a good paying job with benefits, but I was so depressed and miserable. I walked away, and GOD had me it was scary, but I am making it. There are bumps along the way, but your happiness is important. You got this sis 🤗 #self-care #mentalhealthawareness
Being transparent doesn’t necessarily mean tell us every single thing. Keep what you need for you and what you choose to share will have to be good enough. I’m proud of you! 🥰🥰
Well said !
I think that's the problem with us sometimes we keep a lot of things to ourselves but i feel you as well sis....
Thank you for your story… that’s how I’ve been feeling I’ve been at my job for 20 years underpaid new employees coming in with no skills making the same as me… got an job offer making more money more opportunities and just was afraid to move on.. my benefits at my current job is good met my deductibles so no copays but I’m like you I feel it’s time to move on it’s going to be difficult at first learning new things but Faith over Fear we can Do It!
Yasss sis. Congratulations on the new job offer. Don’t let fear stand in your way. The hard part is done. I’m happy for you and we definitely got this! 💪🏾🫶🏾
Sis you just described my situation at the hospital for 36 years being so unhappy but, staying for my kids and grandchildren and because fear gripped me and faith was barely there. I had surgery and my shoulder became frozen and they let me go 2 weeks before Christmas because it was beyond the 6 weeks. Still under a doctor's care. God had things in control though because I felt that he wanted me to leave a long time ago. He has his way of pushing you in the right direction. April this year has been a year from work and I'm waiting to hear from God up until this time. I know that he will lead me in the right direction. Thanks for sharing your story.❤
Congratulations 🎉 🎊. I did the same thing last year. Quot after 17yrs to follow my passion. Best decision ever. Starting over at 42. Everything will work itself out
I can relate! I left my job after 17 years. It was a major burden lifted from my mental health. ❤
Yes. Congratulations to you. I hope you are doing better.🙏🏾❤
I'm 44 and left 3 weeks ago after 16 almost 17yrs feels so much better. On to new and better things. Life is soooo good. All the best to you family. 🙏🏽😊😍🥰
@tavonda2. Ur words are so adorable.
Ive been at my job for 21 years. At 53, im terrified of quitting even though i really really want to. Your words made me a little bit more brave. I think i can do it.
You ain't going nowhere 😁. 😶
…don’t do it
It’s important that you do what is best for your peace of mind and for your family. Write your own story. Live your own life. You got this!!!
Good for you sis! I did this 2 years ago and I haven't looked back.I didn't have things all worked out either but God is faithful! No regrets over here.
Lady I did that more than once. Quit my job without another. But the biggest difference is I don’t have children of my own. I admire your courage. You will be good! Faith over fear is right
This video is sooo inspiring considering I’m in almost the same place. 41, been on job for 16 yrs miserable and is currently ACTIVELY looking for another job. It’s true with the benefits (I am carrying a family of 4), it’s tough to just leave BUT I am trusting God.
I applaud you, and I thank you for posting this video. I felt like you were speaking to me. I have been at my job for 32 years, and I feel fearful to leave. But you will be ok. You are strong and filled with grace and talent.
It took a lot of courage to post this video. But I wanted to share and felt it necessary. Thanks for your kind words. Faith over fear sis. Don’t let fear stand in your way. If you’re unhappy, start with seeing what little changes you can make to change that. You got this 🙏🏾❤️
@@GlamMzMore I live 2 hours from my job and it can be stressful to travel back and fourth everyday. I am definitely under paid and the department I am in is very toxic. I do need a change.
You go girl. Faith over fear will get you where you need to be. I'm proud of you. God's speed, sis!😊
Your story will definitely help other women on their journeys. Thank you for being so open! You're strong and very capable of handling the things that come your way.
You’re welcome sis. That is my hope, to encourage other women to step out on faith and know that it’s ok to do what you need to do for you. Thanks for your kind words.
Happy for you! It's crazy how you gave them 18 years yet they couldn't find a way to accommodate your request. You're right! God pushed and you're amazing at this (content creation etc). Wishing you all the best! Lean in and flourish sis! You can also do a remote job using the skills you had at your 9-to-5 to fill in the financial gaps when you need to while you're being a full-time creative.
Or maybe they didn't appreciate the fact she decided on the move and THEN asked for a solid. Lol she worked for them. Not the other way around. We don't know the situation. Maybe she wasn't a stellar enough employee to work from home. They can do what they want with their company. If they don't want people working from home, then yes...its the employees responsibility to find some place that is ok with it. Trying to argue it or wait it out is stupid. Lol that's what they are in charge and line employees are on the line.
Right on time! I just prayed this morning for God to show me that quitting and not searching for another job is what I'm supposed to do. I've felt this for over a year. He's shown me along the way but that spirit of fear is terrible. I'm out by year-end. Praise the Lord. Blessings to you for your story!
I did the exact thing after 19 years and couldn't be happier in my new profession!
I read the title and had to listen. Theres a slight fear of leaving my job after 12 years but this makes me feel better.
Your story is eerily similar to mine, but I haven't quit yet lol. I'm 15 years in and feel the same about my job. Life was lifing and while I am grateful for the "stability", I am SO ready to start a new journey. I dont have the funds for a break right now but I do have a few (yes a few lol) side hustles I could ramp up so that 2024 starts brand new for me. I just found your channel and subbed as soon as I heard your story. You got this and I'm excited to see what you do! Thank you sharing with us cause you didn't have to, but you are very inspiring.
Your story reminds me a lot of a close family member of mine. We parallel in that way as I’ve quit many times. Probably have held over 20+ positions since I began working 12 years ago. There has not been any role that I’ve felt so attached to that I haven’t been able to leave when my season had ended. So many people impose jobs on your life as they believe it brings security and stability but honestly the stability and security lies in you - in your ability. The skills you have attained over the years can be transferred anywhere whether you go back to a job or not. 18 years is a long time to not do you, take that sabbatical as long as you need. 💕✨
Faith over fear, I am about to make that move. 🙏🏾I wish you all the best sis 🙂
I got laid off about a week ago😭. The future unknown is so scary! But at the same time, the future is exciting!!
God bless your journey❤❤
Congratulations and good for you! I think there must be something in the air because my video today talked about quitting your job abd NOT trying to impress anyone or keep up with the Jonses! I titled my video: It's OK to Quit that Job: Defining Your Worth Beyond the job or job title!
You believe in yourself and it shows!! I don't know you personally, but I'm proud of you! You're a courageous woman!! I applaud you!! I truly believe it's better to know your worth an leave, rather than stay put and be under paid when you know you deserve more!!! Great luck to you in all your preset and future endeavors!!!🙏🏽🔥❤️🌹
Congrats, on quitting your job!! 🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You have to do what’s best for you. Focus on self-care and “YOUR” pursuit of happiness. God has something bigger and better for you watch and see. Sending you some California love. #Pursuit of happiness #YouGoGirl!! #FaithOVERFear🙌🏽
Amazing. I am in the same position at work. 19 years in on August 3rd, this week..these last five months have been brutal. Making me sick due to the stress...so ready to leave.... waiting on direction from The MOST High so...not sure how much more I can take but I know God has me...and a few others... very inspiring life lesson..be encouraged...mental health is so important...
I quit my job after 23 yrs and its the best decision I ever made and I know that God is completely guiding my steps.. I will figure it out. I’m not ready to work for anyone else so I’m working on me and my businesses. I like you planned for my departure but in a moment of fear I almost pulled back, but I didn’t I decided not to quit on me… I also read the book Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey.. this book has been a game changer for my transition! It’s okay to take a break to start over, to not know what’s next and to have faith that it’s going to work out… I hope and pray more people find this courage. I can say that I’m at peace! I’m betting on ME! 😊 Congratulations on your journey all the best!
Yes, I totally agree. The pandemic allowed me to focus on what I needed to do to work remotely 100% from home for my son with autism and I had a government job great benefits but the workplace environment was very very toxic. I had my insurance license for over 20 years and I decided to leave those crutch of a union position and venture back out into corporate America and I am now working 100% from home .I’m taking home double the pay and I have great medical benefits and I’m allowed to be here for my son that’s in college and also my son that is now in high school, and it has been a blessing and an eye-opener
I’m so proud of you! You are a true definition of selflessness! God made it uncomfortable at work for you, so you’ll move on. A delay doesn’t mean DENIED! You’ve got this, again I’m so happy for you. 😘🙌🏾💙
Congratulations and thanks for this video. I just resigned from my job and im taking a career break. Im 56, worked 30+ years in Social Work, time to chose me
You are speaking to my soul in this video. My daughter is a sophomore in college and I hate my job. I've been putting off quitting for about 3 years out of fear. Thank you for this inspiration! 🙌🏾❤️🙏🏾
Love your philosophy, tenacity and honesty! You have the positive mindset and you will move forward and everything will be fine! Yes, you should shar what you what to share and when you want to! Absolutely,this is your life beautiful!
Girl!!! I’m in the same predicament.. no child, an I was only there 5 years, I’ve been in the same industry for the last 15 years tho. I was unhappy so I took a contract job that was only 6 months but paid more than my regular job for the entire year… now I’m like I gotta find my happiness.. even if it’s not at work. I gotta find me! Working to pay bills will have you on a hamster wheel an you can easily lose sight of the main reason we are here an that’s to live! Love this for you an sending many well wishes 💪🏾🫶🏾✨☀️❤️
I feel like u r speaking to me I have been in my career for 20 years and I am ready for change. I have a BA degree in Sociology. I love helping ppl however my time working in the field of social services is over. I can take my experience and transition into another career. Thank you for your words of encouragement. You will be fine sis.
I don’t know how I came across this video. But it was meant for me to hear. Thank you for sharing and encouraging others.
That’s how these jobs get you, you can have a job that pays you well AND has good benefits! Please don’t think that you have to settle for being underpaid to have good benefits/flexibility. Also, kudos to you for having an emergency fund. Having a 3 - 6 month or even a 12 - 18 month emergency fund provides you with the freedom to be able to quit a job without having a backup or in the case of medical issues, layoffs, etc.. Good luck on your new journey!
It’s simple I like you. I like your mindset, I subscribe. I love your audacity. Kudos to you for doing what you need to do for you! New supporter here 💕
New subscriber.This video was right on time. I love when God does what He does. He never disappoints.I’ve been on my job 22 years and have been thinking of leaving.I have adult children and my responsibilities have shifted. Thank you for sharing your journey. It helps because I can relate. Faith over fear🙏🏽
Kudos to you! Blessings to you on your journey!
Continue to do what’s best for you/ yours. Continuous Blessings!
Congratulations on your self-discovery and evolution!!!
I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOUUUU!
You have always been such an inspiration!! God bless you & your journey Erica!
Congratulations on your future and career. Wishing you and your son nothing but the best.
Thank you! You are giving me the courage to step out on faith.
Good for you Sis. You are an inspiration. Thank you.💜
As soon as my son graduates (Lord's willing) I'm quitting my job. I don't care if I can afford it or not! Life is too short and my health is failing due to the stress of it all.
I’m thinking the same. When my daughter graduates next year I might just quit. No matter if I have a savings or not. Or even all the stuff I have accumulated over the years. And with the election happening next year I don’t think I’m up to another Biden and trump run.
@@regisnyderdefinitely thought about this, wish I could take a sabbatical to another country. I’m over the rat race and to some I have it all, but I’m not happy.
Good luck on you next chapter !
Amen Sis, I’m happy for you. Keep the faith and stay on course!
Girl, you got this!! Definitely faith over fear. Very encouraging to so many others. Always keep the faith! I love it! ❤❤
Your journey is such an inspiration! Life moves forward and each stage in life can be a step up or a lateral move in the next direction.
Keep the faith and keep moving sis. Im happy for you!
This video is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you! I'm in a similar space. I wish you all the best on your new journey. Freedom feels awesome and everything will definitely work itself out. You're an inspiration! You look so happy. A leap of faith can do wonders. As you said faith over fear!
Peace & Blessings to you and your son 🙏🏾
So proud of you sis share in your timing people are too much
Thank you for sharing because I was feeling the same way about my job. You just gave me confirmation on what I need to do. I really appreciate you!!
Congratulations! I hope you’re happy. That was definitely a leap of faith. I wish you much success in whatever you decide is next and best for you.
Good luck and always keep the Most High first.😊
Walking by faith and not by sight...I love it!!! May God continue to bless you and the new journey you are about to take.
Good for you! Can’t wait to see what happens next 😊
Congrats! God bless you on your journey of taking the leap of faith. It’s nothing worse than daily going to a job you no longer want to be. Our peace and mental health is precious. Thank you for sharing, and it’s encouraging to know that you don’t have it all figured out yet. 🙏🏽❤️🤗
Girl, I love this for you! You are inspiring me for sure. I have been at my job for 12 yrs and I feel the same as you’ve described. My twins are still young, but I feel you. You got this!!
This is right on time. Congratulations to you! Your story provides me some courage to let go of my situation as well. Fear and stability can be so crippling at times. ❤
I am happy that you are taking time for you. This is a new journey and enjoy the process. There’s nothing more satisfying than peace and happiness within yourself. Being free and navigating your path is more rewarding than a job. You got this soror.
Yes Sis this is your life and you share as you are led! Period your So Rt this is helping a lot of us! Keep Pushing Sis you will figure it out ❤
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 315 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Thank you for sharing. I am at a crossroad in my life too. This video has inspired me to press forward. God will cover us during this transition. Blessing on Blessings Sis!
Such an inspiring story, thank you for sharing! Faith over Fear, love that!
Luv luv luv your hair!
Loved this! Continue to share what YOU choose to share and WHEN you choose to share it. There is a time and a place for everything. You are strong and courageous even in the face of fear and uncertainty, you chose FAITH! Thank you so much for sharing and being transparent with your journey. May God continue to bless you in EVERYTHING that you do my sister 🙏🏾
I wish you the best, this has been something I'm struggling with as well. I haven't been happy at my job for a while, kudos to you Sis!!!!!!❤
So proud of you!!!
Thank you Sis! I feel the shift regarding my 25 yr. job and believing for a new start soon.❤
Your hair looks FABULOUS!!!!
I love your transparency in this video. Thank you for sharing. We often have to force ourselves to make uncomfortable changes that benefit us and our families in the long run. Thank you for inspiring others who may be having the same thoughts that you have had. I love watching your story and appreciate your joys that you have shared with such humility and gratitude to the Most High God.
Wishing you and your family all the best 🙏🏾
You got this Soror! Be Encouraged and Keep Inspiring. ❤
You've got this Sis!!!
Thanks sis!!
I’m right behind you gurl
i feel you sister....take time for yourself.... self-care and freedom
Heyyyy, there u go girl...u got this! With God leaving u, you'll be okay. I wish u and ur son nothing but the best!!!
Hello Sis: I admire your fortitude, confidence and your ability to work your plan. I love it when I see our younger women who have it together. You are purposely living your best life!!
Girl, My daughter and I relocated from NY to Washington State. I know exactly how you feel, I had a job that was unionized 1199. I also have MS, so My worst fear was giving up those benefits. However the best thing I did was leaving that job after 8 years I was so unhappy. I am blessed to have family I can stay with while I transition. Congrats to you! everything will workout. Prayer and faith will carry you through. ♥
Thanks so much for sharing. 1199 was my union as well. So you understand how hard it was to give up them benefits. I’m proud of you and pray that all works out for you. Faith over fear. We got this sis 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Amen.@@GlamMzMore
I totally get it! I’m at the crossroads of decision myself. I have to trust God’s process and timing. We’ll be just fine! Many blessings for your new endeavors!🙏🏾💖
May God continue to bless you and shine His face upon you 🙏🏽. You are an amazing human and a great mother! Speaking from experience, you WILL succeed beyond your wildest dreams. I had to start over 2x times in my life with two young children and I’m still standing strong blessed beyond measure. I’m happy for you and looking forward to the amazing progress and blessings in store for you. I didn’t say it would be easy now, but God. Looking forward to hearing your journey when you are ready to share ❤
Congrats on stepping out on faith! I wish you nothing but the best on your new journey. Your mental health is more important than anything. I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been at my job for almost 18 yrs and I’m burned out. My passion has been slowly fading away. They even stopped giving us raises. I plan on quitting sometime next year.
OMG!! I’m so glad I came across your channel! Love Love Love your beautiful personality and transparency. Your hair is 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
Congratulations on leaving your job & prayerfully the perfect for you opportunity is on the way.
Congratulations on putting Faith over fear on your recent decision to leave your job. You did what was necessary for your well being. No matter what direction you take, you will be blessed with something amazing.❤️
AMEN!! I believe folks forget that your VLOG is a choice, but is still your LIFE! And I really needed to hear this.😊
You are so ambitious and a great inspiration for your son. I wish you both the very best.
You're turning your life over...so happy for you! You're going in the right direction
