Thank you for sharing your story; it took me back. Three years ago, I decided to quit a job at an organization that, on paper, shared many of my values. In practice, however, it was emotionally draining me to the point of threatening my emotional stability. I really believe there's a lot of truth in the idea that you always know, deep down, when it's time to leave a place. Sometimes fear, ego, or emotional attachment hold us back, but our bodies and minds always seem to know when it's time to go.

Pablo: You are so right! We all been there when we go to a place because we BELIEVE we share the same values to be disappointed at the end. I’ve been there more than once. One thing I learned over the years is that no job is worth your mental and physical health. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Many folks, including myself here, know what it is like to feel alone and feel

like you are going through this on your own. That’s why I created this space to be raw, blunt and honest about my life experiences in this business. There’s no other way. Abrazos!
