❤🙌🏾

Congratulations! I'm super proud of you! ❤🎉❤
@@choosetoshine2610Thank you❤
I always say if you stay at the job for the health care, you will surely need the health care! Our bodies will start giving us clues...nagging health issues, or chronic...listen to what you are being shown. I think it's often better to take less stressful, lower paying job, rather than stay in toxic job. As sometimes we stay longer than we should and then burnout so bad, we can't move forward. I say this as a survivor of academia. Meditation and prayer are key to allow our minds space to know the next steps...inner peace is key.
I feel you. I left a trauma causing job at a prestigious university after only 8 months there and I'm currently on month 12 of my career break. I pretty much said, "I don't need to deal with this shit" and bounced. I am in the process of securing a job making way less but like you said, peace of mind is the key.
I’m a survivor of academia as well and love your videos, too , Coach Viv🙏🏿
Thank you. I needed to receive this, "...if you stay at the job for the health care, you will surely need the health care!"
Set my Sisters FREE!!!
I want to live in a cabin in the mountains. I am 79 years old and want to know how I can make this happen by September 2025. Please connect me with someone who can help me❤
Go to Belize. It’s very inexpensive. Hopkins, and Placencia….bring lots of repellent.
When you are a black women who is educated and unmarried, with out children we can put too much focus on our jobs and our jobs become our identity. So it can be hard to walk away even when it doesn't serve us, we have to pray, have faith and make the necessary moves. Thank you ladies for such an insightful and impactful conversation.
I'm in the UK, but this message and others are universal no matter where you are. Thank you ladies!
I’m working on an FMLA application right now. I’ve been recuperating from the flu, still taking calls and answering emails. Got called out my name by one of my board directors. I’ve been on auto-pilot ever since. Accelerating my two-year exit plan to “as soon as possible.”
Good luck on your FMLA application. 💗
They will use you then discard, glad you are getting out!
I’ve been on leave since January of this year due to high stress, anxiety & depression related to my job, Call center customer service! I started with FMLA & now using Short term disability benefits until June. My primary Dr. Approved me for 12 weeks at first then I recently got an 8 week extension. I’m 43 & in Northern California by the way, I plan on getting unemployment for a while afterwards while Transitioning to a career that I can enjoy. Those symptoms are getting better since I’ve been off from work but you do have to make sure your Dr’s understand how severe the job is to your health. I hope this helps & wishing you the best.
@AnyahEMB, I am so sorry that this happened to you,...I wish you nothing but happiness on your journey, and I pray for a speedy recovery. God bless you My friend. Always take good care of you. Feel better soon.

Check to see if your state offers paid medical leave or if your job has short term disability
Just turned 29. Finishing up my time working with the government for 4 more years. Focusing on entrepreneurship my private practice . Motivation 🙏🏾♥️💯💪🏾
I unfortunately stayed in a toxic job, which I should have quit my first day. I'm mad at myself for allowing him and others to treat me so badly.
Begin your healing journey sis! It's okay to make a new choice starting today! Don't blame yourself, instead show yourself grace. Now that you know better, do better for yourself! I hope you fight for your peace and renewal!
Give yourself grace sis. You’re not alone
I'm not in a toxic environment. I work from home as an insurance nurse. But I feel I have hit a glass ceiling and there are no roads to advancing or pivoting within the company.
My job wasn't a great job I worked at a behavioral health hospital. Low pay high risk physically & emotionally. But I felt I had to go because it was all I had. I was in debt. I dreaded going into work everyday. I walked in one day to a code being called and found myself fighting with a mentally Ill patient. I quit that day no savings, in debt, and trying to find another job. I went back to caregiving which was draining. So now I'm pursuing the speaking career I've always wanted. But I'm struggling doing side hustles.
My wake up call is when I asked for a promotion after earning my BA this past December, I was told that maybe I've evolved as much as I can in the department and I should look for a job at another institution. Mind you I work in one of the biggest hospitals in NY.
Then I went on a job interview at another hospital closer to where I live, was told I would be perfect for the job. Meanwhile they hired someone else.
I am 51 been in the healthcare arena for close to 30 years and at my current job for almost 20. I'm just over it all. I'm planning to be out of here by next year.
I should probably do a CZcams video about this instead of venting about it here 😅
Would love to see your video!!
@BecomingBuddhaMama I'm working on it😊
I’m there!!! I must register for this summit! At 63, it’s scary to step out of a job I’ve had for 14 years that with latest owners taking over, has become a place of INSANITY!!!! Gotta get out….my eyes are being destroyed!
Stephanie, starting out, you made about $700 as a virtual assistant. Thank you for your honesty. So many people who make money on digital platforms these days all claim straight out the gate they make "six and seven figures". I know great money can be made I know that. Viewers, subscribers just want the truth and not fabrications. Thanks for the truth. I'm so tired of the fabrications and lying. Thanks for the truth Stephanie. Thank you.
I wouldn’t say my job is toxic, im just no longer aligned with it. I’ve done the same type of work since my early 20s and I’ll soon be 32. Plus, I’m extremely overwhelmed and feel stretched thin
I feel the same and I'm 55. I feel my manager is toxic not my job. Very overwhelmed and stretched. Just don't know what I can do to transfer my skills to remote working.
I'm working and making my strategy out of this Matrix...❤
Keep making progress. 💗
I am Stephanie, little by little, I will get there!!!, My Niece Cierra Just returned from Paris with her house sit, a cat name Gustav😊,... She asked me to tell you Thank you for saving her life, she's 24, have fun on your cruise, peace and blessings 🌸🩷🌸😊
The Oracle was a black woman in the Matrix..just saying🤷🏾♀️👀😅

I took a health leave due to stress from my last job. Thankfully I had a good doctor who actually recommended it and she managed my care with the mental health practitioners.
As black women we often hide our suffering. Be very open and honest with your doctors so they came fully fill out the paperwork.
If they don’t support you, find someone else. Also be sure to report physical symptoms like lack of sleep and increased blood pressure, etc. It’s all interrelated.
I quit my job about three months ago. It’s one of the best decisions I made it my life. No looking back.
I came across this video at the right time. It is so soothing to my damaged heart.
I resigned from my toxic job in the middle of Covid after they totally dismissed the fact that I had been in a near fatal accident 2 years prior, followed by the sudden death of my adopted dad who was helping me recover from the accident. I truly felt liberated as I preparing my 2 weeks' notice that I would be giving them. On my last day, I skipped...YES, I said skipped, into the office to return all of my remote work equipment with a HUGE grin on my face!!
I didn’t need an exit plan…I got laid off. Now I’m getting severance and can collect unemployment while I figure out my next step
Same but I was fired lol, currently trying to figure out my next step as well 😭
Such a timely video for me.. thank y'all for sharing your stories!
I have been learning and encouraged to live a lifestyle that feeds my spirit! That model of waiting till I’m 65 is a fantastical dream killer.
Glad mental health professionals are talking about this…. Been there… recovering from my time in the mental health and social work world…. I quit 3 yrs ago…
I love these episodes!!! More, more and more of this please!!! 💃🏿
I'm in the pharma industry looking at legal contracts all day and I hate it. I want to move to Costa Rica or somewhere out of the US.
I stayed on my job too long and I stayed with my family too long and neither served me
I have a plan to save money make money and have ease in my life
1. Mind set
2. Let life and learning all flow
As soon as I start my goals I’m joining the Ladies on these platforms summits to increase the income stream
So happy i came across this video! I was let go from my job because of "job commitment" while I had complained about low pay and an imbalanced workload as compared to my nonblack coworkers. I was actually planning to leave, but this job had filled my head with thoughts that i was their star employee...all while they were treating the other people better. They had also let go the only other two black women employees.
I started to think maybe i was wrong for speaking up and that maybe the mistreatment was in my head. But no. These companies arent loyal and esp to black people. No matter how good you are, youre still black at the end of the day.
So now I'm getting ready to leave the US in the next few months. I have a daughter. And i just cant let her live in this society.
I’m working on mine for this Year!
I'm so thankful to have found this channel 🙏🏽
This is for me❤
We DEFINITELY need to look at the definitive numbers because it makes it so much more REAL that leaving is possible! ✨
Omg I wish I had found this 4 years ago. Exactly what I went through day after day on a job I had been on 19 years. You are so right leave and never look back.
I’ve had so many toxic jobs, 2 of them I filed complaints with EEOC. Only to be undermined and not believed, even with proof from emails of harassment. I used to be so embarrassed jumping jobs, and how others would perceive me.
To answer one of your questions toward the end of the video: I am in a toxic enviornment and I am a floor technician. I am a black woman under 30, married and I love doing floor work. I just hate the company that I am working for. I will say, however, that I a learning a LOT as I stay conscious and exit plan. God has been faithful in the process. Thanks for this video!! There are many great nuggets here. Thanks to you all....I am actively ON MY WAY OUT!
Just turned 55 and have 7 years to retirement with a Teacher's pension in Maryland. Looking at Maryland jobs b/c my time will transfer. There are many things I can do but the search is work itself. I can't complain b/c I only looked but haven't applied to anything. Coulda, woulda, shoulda! You know that feeling when you know what you want to do but don't have the training? The income isn't there for Data entry, logistics, research assistant. Other days, I feel like I can manifest ANYTHING!
After listening to this Vlog/interview I know that I’m not fully healed from everything that happened to me on that Toxic job!
I’m ready to exit. 😢
Grief is part of the process
👍🤩💝🙏Thank you. Bless you ladies.
Stephanie, I love your updated title (Author, Job Detox)! I can't wait to get my digital copy!!!
Thank you for your thoughts. How can those who don't have higher education , vut is gifted with talents seek freedom?
i appreciate a co-worker that shared with me how to take FMLA in early 2000.
Thank you so much for everything that you do for the community. I just registered, and I am looking forward to it!
This spoke to me so much today. I see similarities between both Marissa’s and Dr.Kimani’s stories. Former sped teacher and now working at a bank crying to be free! Searching for my freedom plan. Thank you for sharing your light and resources. I have decided ❤
Stephanie how can we put our down payment in on the Costa Rica house? 🤣. I’m ready
This video came across my feed!! I work at toxic job and I want out! I had to stand up for a position!! But you women are right I need CHANGE
RELOCATION ❤❤ IM READY TO START THE HEALING BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN A DIFFERENT MINDSET!!! UNDO ALL THE TOXIC BEHAVIOR IN MY LIFE!!
Effective immediately!
The timeliness of this video. Thank you Ladies. 💕
Wow. This is such a wonderful conversation. And so true. 100%
I was on vacation going home when I heard the job I was working was going out of business. They offered no severance pay, gave us less than a month, well they initially said 3/31, but it was 3/1. I don't miss it but I felt bad for those who been there long.
Harriet WAS NOT ALONE ❤ YES
The ONLY reason why I am still in the states is due to the very high salary I make with no degree. Feeling like a giant in a box😭
I can relate to Dr. Kimani when she spoke of betrayal.
Me too
Registered for the Summit!
Yes
I am a Medical Lab Tech and I am at the point of where I dread going to work. The thing I fear is not being able to financially support myself and my son without this job.
I feel the same way about my job and my son
PEACE & LOVE LADIES🙌🏾🌹🌹🌹
ABA therapy for 2yr old children at $70 an hour is a good pivot or working full-time.
What state are you in? I've seen up to $150 per hour in NYC.

What advice would you have for young women entering the workforce? How to avoid the burnout? Also, have you considered how your exit strategies might impact women who replace you in those jobs?
Time to let go
Hi Stephanie I have 2 advanced degrees and was curious about the education reciprocity
I missed the summit. Can the summit presentations be accessed, for a fee, now that the summit is over?
Hey, Stephanie…my toxic environment WAS higher education…predominately white institution…I would love to know your theory and run the statistic.
Same, I am also in higher education and would love to know what to do about that environment.
I’ve exited and hope the same for you

Insurance
I want to find a business coach but it would have to be in budget. Any more advice on how to find one outside of a simple google search?

Taking away all the love for your career.
Watching the replay and omg…. @mpricemsw this sounds like my current story. I just returned to work due to financial need and still trying to fight to get my Short Term Disability approved.
