Lookback: 8 weeks after quitting

Worked 40-50 hours a week at a demanding job

I lost myself, barely take care of myself, and feel ashamed of what I've become

What I wish I knew
"How to maintain a healthy work-life balance"
If I could tell you one thing
"Prioritize self-care and set realistic goals"
