What Actually Happened
I'm burnt out from my project management job in public health, struggling with cPTSD recovery and overwhelmed by meetings and responsibilities.
What I wish I knew
"researched job market and career options more thoroughly before taking the public health job"

If I could tell you one thing
"consider your own needs and boundaries when choosing a career, don't be afraid to seek help and prioritize self-care"
