Hi Medium fam,

I’ve created a new 60-second video series on “how to fix visibility” on IG @simplifiedbusinesscoach — If you’re running business online, esp Instagram, it’ll be very valuable to crack the visibility code, so you can follow my IG and stay tuned!!! ~

Let’s talk about the guilt that comes with leaving a “good” job. Sure, on paper it looked perfect-the salary, the benefits, the title.

But if it was draining your energy and killing your spirit, it wasn’t good for YOU. Here’s something they don’t tell you: Your boss’s emotional maturity has a direct impact on your mental health.

If they’re insecure, controlling, or just plain toxic, you’ll end up managing their emotions more than doing your actual job.

And guess what? They benefit from your extra effort while you risk burning out.

This happens because emotionally immature leaders usually project their insecurities onto their team, and they seek validation or control through manipulation.

They benefit from your extra effort and patience while avoiding accountability for their own issues.

So, What can you do about it?

1. Set boundaries: Be clear about what you won’t tolerate. This keeps you from getting dragged into their emotional mess.
2. Document everything: Keep track of problematic behavior. It’s your protection if things escalate or you need to make a formal complaint.
3. Prioritize self-care: Make time for activities that recharge you outside of work. Exercise, hobbies, and relaxation are key.
4. Consider your options: If the environment is too toxic, it might be time to look for a new income source alternative where you can thrive without the extra emotional weight.

You’re allowed to leave even if others don’t understand. You don’t need to justify wanting peace over prestige. Your focus should be on protecting your own well-being and energy.

DM me at IG simplifiedbusinesscoach “PLAN” in the comments if you’ re done with the cycle of burnout and frustration dealing with sh💩 in 9–5 office.

I’ m taking tired 9–5 managerial professionals in legal industry to build side business to regain freedom

If you’ re ready to reclaim your energy, power, and peace, this is where it begins.

Time to put yourself first ❤️

To your success,

Connie
