Chapters

You have gotten to where you are today because of the work that you have put in. And it's hard for me to accept sometimes when I see so many colleagues who are overworked, underpaid, completely burnt out, and I feel like, why do I get to have a quality of life that I love? And that is what I choose to live. And you know, I would never tell someone you should stick it out. Um, if you want to prove something to yourself, by all means go for it. But for me, can I listen to my gut and can I be grateful for what I have and who I am? And that doesn't mean I'm not going to feel pain today. And so if you are working at an agency and you're burnt out, I've been there, I hear you, I'm happy to talk to you about that. If you're in your own private practice, you're killing it and you love it, awesome! I don't know if any of you have struggled with feeling like, again, it's not fully undeserving, but I do think there's remnants of shame there for me where it's almost survivor's guilt, no pun intended, of why do I get to have this life that I truly want to be a part of?
