Let me start off by clearly stating that, yes, even though one of my former bosses is toxic to me, I do not believe he is a bad person. No, not at all. In fact, I rather enjoyed his company when he didn’t feel triggered or taking delight in the misfortune of others.

However, the decision was made for me after remembering the consequences of staying longer at a place that wasn’t healthy. In the past, I would always try and give of myself and my energy, to help people thrive. I really enjoy helping people reach their full potential. The challenge with this is when you’re either being used or manipulated, in which case, I have found the most effective method to deal with those situations is to value yourself and leave.

I’ve been hearing alot about, how as a woman, we need to consider ourselves as a ‘prize’ and to be quite honest I am no one’s prize. I am a precious and highly valuable human being and I treat myself as such. If the people I engage with on a daily basis cannot see that or treat me in a way I feel is disrespectful and underhanded, then again, I leave. It’s not a fight. I wish everyone well, but I will keep it moving.

So, that’s why I left a job I loved and was really good at – because nothing and no one is worth my peace of mind…. and remember beautiful ladies, you can only thrive around those that love and value you. Do not waste another second of your precious and valuable time around people that do nothing to fuel the fire in your soul.

So now, it’s back to the drawing board career-wise, but I’m excited because once I find the right fit; nothing will hold me back.

Love and light to you all!
