To the outside world, it looked like I just up and quit my job of 11 years on a whim. “Wow, you’re so lucky!” “I wish I could do that, but…” Nah, motherlover—this wasn’t random.

In this unapologetic episode of Sundays in the Shadows, I pull back the curtain on what it really took to leave the restaurant industry after over a decade. We’re talking years of shadow work, emotional prep, financial discipline, support systems, and yes—fuck ups. So if you’re sitting there dreaming of your own leap but thinking you can just jump without a plan, this one’s for you.

Inside this episode:
🔥 Why “fuck it, I’m out” moments are rarely spontaneous
🔥 How the pandemic sparked my escape plan
🔥 The shadow work (and self-sabotage) that almost kept me stuck
🔥 The difference between leaping from emotion vs. intention
🔥 4 no-BS tips to prep your OWN leap

If you’re asking yourself, Who would I be without this job, this identity, this paycheck?—you’re already on the right path. Let’s break it all the way down.

You gave them your time. Your energy. Your talent. Hell, you gave them over a decade of your life. So what happens when you finally walk away?

In this raw, funny, and unapologetic episode of Sundays in the Shadows, I take you behind the scenes of my own identity crisis after quitting the job I crushed for nearly 12 years. No title, no routine, no constant chaos to manage—just me, myself, and a whole lot of freedom (and honestly, confusion).

Inside this episode, we dive into:
🔥 The surprising mindfuck of leaving a job that defined you
🔥 Why your old self doesn’t have to die when you walk away
🔥 How to channel your gifts into something that actually feeds your soul
🔥 The truth about people getting pissed when you tell your story
🔥 Why you should let your shitty job pay for your transformation before you go

If you’ve ever wondered, Who am I if I’m not that person anymore?—this one’s for you.

What do you do when the job that once brought you purpose, pride, and connection slowly becomes the source of frustration, resentment, and exhaustion? Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own experience working over a decade in the same restaurant—how it shaped me, when the love started to fade, and how I’m navigating the decision to finally walk away. If you’re stuck in a role you’ve outgrown but feel guilty or scared to leave, this one’s for you.
