I quit my job...without another lined up // healing my mental health 

Your health and sanity is way more valuable than money

I just quit my 6 figure job with no plan. I’m mentally exhausted!!! Being a full time caregiver to my mother, a single mother of 3 and working. I need a mental break!!!

i quit my 9-5 five cuz it was back breaking. i was to exhausted to focus on my hobby in the evening and im geting older so i must prioritise health. im downsizing in living standards to take a part time job and have moore time for music and guitar paractise. when you close a door others open dont be afraid to let go.

I quit my job back in September 2023 and have been on a 5 month vacation ever since , I’m living off my savings until March. It’s so relieving not going to work the next day or dealing with annoying co-workers. I’ve had a lot of time to reflect and figure out my next move. Wish you luck on your future endeavors 💪🏽😎 we got this!

You are on the right path young lady. I'm 59 and a half and after 30 years of dedicated service as a coordinator in the Document Services Department at a now defunct law firm, on Thanksgiving Day I received an email telling me I was terminated. Corporate America does not play fair and unfortunately, I was too scared to act on it. in my younger years I see you young people are rewriting the rule book. Good for you, the Universe will send you where you need to be.

I’m proud of you Anais. Everybody y’all remember, YOU come first🤝

I just need the courage to walk and never look back. I deeply hate what I do for a living. This isn't what I envisioned 😢 and it's just not doing it for me. I'm mentally and and physically drained! 😪

Watching this and I’m honestly tearing up because how is this so accurate with what I’m facing. Just quit my 9-5 job with no job or money lined up and this just made me feel better❤️ Thank you so much for sharing

Watching this as I am sitting at my corporate job. Freaking out and scared about leaving this job because I have a baby and a 2k rent bill and credit cards and everything else 😩😩😩😩

Guurl I just resigned from a Good paying job last week effective immediately. I had lost my folks both in junior high and had a strong sense of independence AND self preservation from a young age of 14. Its Okay to have doubts but I maintain that when Ur selfworth , ambition takes the Driver's seat.... Nothing is impossible. At the Age of 34 now,I'm embarking on a very scary and rewarding studies in architecture.Let Providence Guide Me 🙏

Most people don’t work for an employer thinking they’re making someone else rich. They’re doing it as a trade for a salary so they can live. Unless someone has a regular income from somewhere, savings, or a partner who has an income, it’s almost impossible to just quit their job.

I cope by working out at home, yoga and reconnecting and deeply diving into my relationship with self and with God. I have been feeling this way for so long, I'm just now allowing myself to breathe and to come into peace and understanding with my physical and mental health. Thank you for this video!

been asking for a sign for quitting my job, but i feel like me asking for a sign is the sign! thank you for this piece of advice! blessings to you and your journey 🩷

This is a great video. I see that my daughter has the same mindset. She was in college (a renowned HBCU) and after one semester she realized she was not fulfilled. She moved into her own apartment with the help of her parents and had me paying the rent lol. The more she got up every morning to go to class, the more she realized that her destiny was paving a very different blueprint. She told me her plans and the minute I came to remove the last bit of items out of her apartment, she began her journey to self entrepreneurship. She has not stopped and continues to work on HER dreams, instead of someone else's. That to me is the meaning of a true girl boss lol :) You're definitely an inspiration and I will continue to follow you on your journey...Loving the hair by the way chica!!

Watching this after having a breakdown twice this week! Been praying alot and getting more opportunities with my side hustle. So I am taking this as a sign! Thank you for this video for it is so relatable and hits home.

Thank you! I’m just quite 4 days ago with no plan and money. 4,5 years I hate it, and now freedom. But sooo much happpy))

This world can be exhausting. It’s no wonder suicide rates are so high.

it depends on so many things. not everyone can make money on their own. this is reality. but there are always improvements we can make. question also is...how much is enough. this is where i am at........52 and trying to understand "how much is enough" i am close to quitting well paid IT job and live my life. life is too short to be stressed out

You literally have a powerful and star quality . Thank you for sharing this .I resigned from my job without something lined up too. I am terrified but my intuition told me it sad time to leave and prioritize myself and my mental health and I am proud of that and proud of you !!❤❤

My favorite quote about this topic “The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable.” ❤ this is just the beginning of an amazing life ahead of you!

WOW! A BDR?! Sales roles can lead to quick burnout for many. I hit burnout and I quit! Kudos on making the switch, and I wish you all the success in your new role!

You are so mature and so wise. You're going to be just fine!

I had a similar talk with my supervisor and their suggestion was more work. I think not! I am preparing for a career break one way or the other.

I’m crying watching this video. Because this everything I feel. 😢

This sounds like me 10 years ago! I quit my law firm after 6 years it was toxic the culture the people and quit with no back up ..scariest thing but so worth it. Took a year to travel and found a dream job. You were so brave ❤❤ thanks for sharing

We’re definitely in the same boat. Just quit my job as a practice administrator 08/18/23. I been through so much with employers the past 2 years that I believe I’m jaded. I don’t believe I’m mentally ready to work for a company right now. I’m not sure what I’m going to do I’ve been so dependent on a job since I was 15. I was supposed to make a video but for the past 44 days I have been back and forth between “crumbling” and hopeful. Your video has encouraged me to make. Hopefully I can muster up enough energy to make it this week. I would love your support. New content coming soon.

Shes still working but multiple part time jobs to pay her bills while she works on her. I dont understand how close minded some can be.

Happy to be the 1k like ❤ Thank you for sharing your story, it is very inspiring. I want to quit my job, but still searching what I want to do next.

Cost of living too high guys dont quit the job 😁 Message from an unemployed friend... 🤣🖤

Thank you RU-vid Algorithm for letting me see your video! I love this video so much Anaïs. Everything that you said resonated with me as I also left my job without any lined up. But, every since I quit, I've never felt any happier and I'm finally focusing on myself, passions and hobbies like creating content too. :)) Excited to follow your journey!

I’m so glad I found this video. I quit my 6 figure job for many of the reasons you listed. After 11 months, I decided to apply for another corperate position. I made it to the final round when I was badgered by the interviewer on why I would quit my previous job. Despite being low on funds. I’ve decided that company is not the one for me. This video really helped me to feel stronger in my decision and not gaslight myself.

On this same journey right now! 🎉 starting a RU-vid channel to build something for myself and beyond a corporation. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey!! You’re not alone in it!

im having this moment right now.. i can feel myself getting weary at this day job that im at.... and idk, im real nervous about ACTUALLY doing it... please god give me another sign............

feeling really lost in life right now. thank you so much for creating videos, it's helping a lot!

This is me right now. So depressed

You’re describing exactly what I’m feeling at my job now. Thank you for sharing ❤

This is an extraordinary video that helps so many people around the world, you're helping to change people's life everyday. Thanks for telling us the truth. I quite my job as a medical practitioner last 2 years After almost 8 years in the field, I retired from my position as a registered nurse two years ago. Though it was not an easy choice, life is too short to spend each day dreading going to work. No amount of money can truly buy true happiness. But friends, I'm not asking you to quit your job or shut your business. Just be wise

That is what I did with the shithole of the managers of a retail job I work at. Like suspension for little to no reason so I said fuck it and left. No regrets. I won't kiss ass who treats people like garbage

Just joined your YT channel and am right about to follow this as well. Currently in that corporate space (FinTech) and it's BRUTAL. I can't see myself doing this for the rest of my life, fulfilling someone else dreams, a corporation that doesn't even care about your health and well being. You are easily replaceable based on shareholder value, profit margins etc.. It took me 3+ years to finally launch my YT channel - lot of time wasted on procrastination. But I am off the ground finally! How are you currently making a living? (outside of YT)

Glad I came across your video! I'm also working towards leaving my job! please do post videos about what your doing in the interim in terms of going for jobs to cover bills :) Good luck on the journey

I'm proud of you and got inspiration tonight as confirmation to take the same leap of faith. I just gave myself an end date and wrote my resignation letter out. You gave me courage to take this leap not just for me but my almost 2 year old daughter. Thank you and keep pushing ❤

Hi there! This is the first video of yours that I'm watching. It was recommended to me. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm considering leaving the job I have now. It's scary to make that decision, but my body is screaming for me to make a full stop. I'll have to look at your other content to see how you're doing now :)

Hey Anaïs, Thanks for the 🔥 video. I’m kinda going thru something like this too. I kinda quit. And I kinda don’t give a dam. I’m starting cdl school very soon to drive a tanker with hazmat local. It’s a dangerous job but pays 80-100k+. I plan on doing it for 2 years or until I get my own business off the ground. Wish me luck. ❤

Such a positive and calm video. Congratulations on your strength to quit and focus on your health. I am on that path myself. I am at a full time draining job that leaves no energy and time for content creation or any sort of side hustles. Your video helps to think there is another way. Good luck:)

Also an ex-lawyer here. I didn't like law firms, I tried academia and simultaneously working for the government. 2 years ago I switched the industry to growth marketing which I really enjoyed at first. And now I'm thinking about quitting this as well to start my own business.

I feel you. I think about quitting 2. Yesterday, just really hit me.

All money's not good money

Yes Anais, you are definitely right, unfortunately 2.18K sibscribers are not enough audience to be able to pay your bills. So how can you manage to pay your bills? Happy new year!

Watching this as I eat my breakfast, and so on time!! I can relate so hard to this.

Definitely me. Hopefully next year I can confidently quit my job.

That backup looks so pretty

goals 🥹 following ur footsteps soon

New Dallas subscriber, glad I ran across your content. Cant wait to see your Austin and future content.

Anais, hope things are going okay for you since you left your job. You should be proud of yourself for this. I am also in a similar situation and am so grateful I stumbled onto your video. I can very much relate to the feeling that we have been so brainwashed into believing in corporate and making other business owners so much money. I’ve been in hospitality since I was about 15 and now I’m 30. I quit my job yesterday also with no backup plan, but my soul has been tugging at me to do this and I can’t shake it. The creative in me is wanting more. Life’s short, we have to make the most of it. Very proud of you! Going to follow you on Insta 😊

Man you opened my eyes

They don't appreciate us. I'm glad you left.

Needed this video, thank you

Wow! I needed this!

My inspiration! It’s so hard to switch up the mindset of no longer breaking your back for someone else…can you share tips on how you prepared financially for it? Like how much did you have in savings and how you budgeted your money?

But you do have a plan mapped out. You have a clear vision for what you want.

Amen and thank you for your video

Girl Im you right now.

Thank you it's really helpful.

Enjoyed the video keep going

U.S unemployment claims get released in the morning. People who trade currencies in forex and futures market, actually are capitalizing off you being out of work 😂. There's a high impact news release coming at 8:30 am central time on U.S. unemployment claims - that people are setting up right now and gonna profit off

Wow 🤩

It's okay

What are you up to now?

Excellent content! New subscriber. ❤️

Inspiration ❤️😊

I like the video, but the background music is way too loud

Office Space movie

this is the kool aid we need!

LAWD😘🇵🇷

😛😝🐟🐟🤤🤤ok boo

Hates capitalism, wants to build wealth. K

I just quit my job today and needed some validation. Couldn’t have come across a better video, I resonate with everything you said🥹 excited to see where it takes me and I’m so happy I’m finally choosing myself 💕 thank you for this🫶🏾

Hello Anaïs! Im also Anaïs and am about to quit my receptionist job at a 5-star hotel wellness (spa). I’ve done it before, which is why it doenst scare me to jump out free fall without anyhing lined up. But sometimes I feel it creeps on me that I may be doing the wrong thing ;which is why I’m here. Hearing from others who just don’t feel good in their work environment anymore share how they took the step to put themslevs first is beyond motivating! Thank you for this ❤️
