Three years ago, I resigned from my career as a retail leader in the field.
A career I loved.
A career I was great at.

I wrote this the week I resigned.


I could barely get through the phone call as I spoke to my boss in between sobs.

Ugh, embarrassing.

A phone call wasn’t in the plan. I had an email ready to go that I planned on sending Tuesday morning, but I jumped the gun. I called her Monday morning.

I had been planning my resignation for months. As the deadline approached, I became anxious — very anxious. I knew it was the right move for me, no doubt. I didn’t expect the flood of emotions.
