This week, we take a reader question from Sara in Chicago:

Dear Mandy, 

I've been at my current job for 4 years. I have wanted to leave for 3 years. Staying has always been the easier option, I have so much flexibility and creative control, but my workplace is toxic and every year I have less and less consistent staff to manage the workload. I currently do the job of 3 different roles in one position, and am not paid enough for the amount that I do. The quality of work that I am able to do decreases everyday, along with my motivation.

I am turning 30 and I have decided I cannot let myself delay any longer, but now I am TERRIFIED that I stayed too long. My peers have never stayed longer than 2 years at a position and people keep telling me that it looks bad on my resume to have stayed for 4 years. Now i feel even more pressure to leave before the year is up but I haven't found a new position.

All I see is people saying the job market is terrible and that getting a new job could take almost a year. Ineed an income to fall back on, but i am afraid the longer I stay at this job the less hirable I am becoming, which is creating a feedback loop of making me even more scared to quit. I also have an extreme sense of guilt about leaving my boss with no one to fill my role, as a lot of the company's function depends on me.

Am I putting too much pressure on myself to leave before the year ends? Or am I right in thinking that staying in this job is hindering my ability to move forward?

The totally honest story of how I'm trying to finish my manuscript, and how I got from 0 to 60,000 words, barely alive, kicking and screaming.  In this episode, I share all of my unhinged tips and ways that I tricked myself into writing.  

Great for: writers, creatives, artists who are trying to connect with their art and actually develop a trustworthy practice to engage with it.

If you are an artist, you will be compelled to create.  You'll want to write even if you're a terrible writer.  You'll want to make projects even if no one "gets" them or no one cares.  In today's episode, we talk about why it's importnat keep making your art, even if no one notices at first.  

After reading Julia Cameron's seminole work on awakening your inner artist, I took charge of my health, started Crossfit, got a book deal, and grew my business 3x. For any creative or entrepreneur, this was a game-changer for me.

Why do we need our bosses, investors, and colleagues to like us so much?  We crave their attention, validation, and need a pat on the head to feel good about ourselves.  In this episode, we explore why this is a never ending, insatiable question -- and instead offer some ways to help accept ourselves as whole and flawed.  Self love, friends!

How to create your future using tools like a vision board, and why it's important to have a dedicated physical space to brew your dreams.  

In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really takes to start your own coaching business. From getting better every day as you practice your craft, to building meaningful connections with clients over time, coaching can be VERY rewarding. But of course, there are challenges:  especially when you’re trading time for money and trying to balance your schedule with client demands.

If you’re thinking about starting a coaching business, or just curious about the process, this episode gives you the honest truth about what to expect.  Thank you so much for listening.
