Thank you so much for your vulnerability. I relate to this on so many levels. On so many levels. Instead of corporate I went nonprofit corporate.... it destroyed me. But here I am wanting to go back to it lol all because I believe in helping people. Damn psychology degree!

Hehe yep, I understand. Non-profit is also a business, but helping people with it is a beautiful thing โค๏ธ

Therapy is a life saver. I only wish more people would do the work so we didn't have to deal with their sh*t day in, day out... Thanks for sharing your origin story :)

Oh yes, I feel you ๐Ÿ˜… Interesting how we are being taught a bunch of topics in highschool which I have never used, but nothing actually useful like emotional intelligence.

Don't understand why European? women (men too) don't like cunts. I find them quite wonderful really. Except for one, but she did had the loveliest tits. There was another, but only in my imagination. Someone I was stuck working in a cubicle with, in New Orleans, who never bathed. Let's call her Smelly Shelly. Loved this piece tho. I had a similarly wretched experience with a corporate job, but I did get to travel to NYC on a Learjet once. Love the crossed out stuff. The stuff you'd like to forget but honestly cannot. Cheers and thanks ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ†๐Ÿซ’๐ŸŒ

"I do like working with people, and I also like making a difference." no shame in that! Some people can work for money just like some people can marry for money. I recently turned down a position for double my pay ON MORAL GROUNDS. did you hear that? I thought I was a cool witch, I thought I was a rebel! I moved to Australia alone and I said no to a job because I have VALUES. yuck. we need a support group. my 16yo self would be ashamed of me.

You teach what you know. I know it seems like everyone is a coach but I have set up coaching for a specific niche - high functioning adults on the spectrum; specifically women and donor especially for those late diagnosed because I am that. And Iโ€™m still standing after trauma and then therapy. The best support and inspiration comes from a place of authenticity and what could be more profound and authentic than having lived through it?

Hahah I adore Ace Ventura movies, they make me laugh every time ๐Ÿ˜‚ And yes, that's usually what I do with clients who are looking for a new career. We already have all the puzzle pieces, we just need to piece them together!

I think many people (especially of a certain generation unfortunately) are in denial, especially when it comes to trauma or parenting related trauma.

And thanks for that last sentence too, you really made my day! I'm glad you're enjoying it โค๏ธ
