WHAT TO LISTEN FOR
Workplace Trauma [2:36]
No different from really any other trauma as it relates to it being a stuck place.
A lot of times we are forced to have to move past or to have to gloss over or to have to put aside because we need to earn money.
We're a lot more inclined, and probably willing to stay in work relationships to SURVIVE.

EPISODE QUOTES:
I remember moments like having to go to work and just being in tears. Like, I don't want to go here. I hate it. And that feeling I stuck it out until I eventually just found something different. But I don't ever want to feel like that again. And so. Now I'm under the mindset that I have choices. I don't have to be anywhere.

My purpose is bigger than my stuck place.- Scott Hayes
I have to take care of myself and be the best me in order to show up in this place. So I have to prioritize my care for them. And for me to be the best that I can be, and just righteously I deserve to show up as the best me.
- Scott Hayes
Nobody is going to take care of you like you're going to take care of you. You have to value YOU enough to do what's right for you to understand, to have self-awareness, and then to do the work.
