Corporate Gaslightting

For years, I gave everything I had to my work. I wanted my clients to feel cared for, celebrated, and supported—but the truth is, I was stuck in environments that didn’t give me the tools or time to show up for them the way I wanted to.

I worked 100-hour weeks with no overtime, pouring myself into responsibilities that had nothing to do with the people I actually wanted to serve.

I kept advocating for help that never came, riding the gaslit rollercoaster of asking for support, being promised it was “on the way,” and asking again when nothing changed.

After countless sleepless nights, missed weekends, and barely seeing my new husband, and my puppy, it became clear: the help wasn’t coming. The tools I needed weren’t coming. I was destined to stay strapped into the corporate rollercoaster—or I could choose to break the cycle.

When my position was “dissolved,” I finally knew: if I’m going to work this hard, it’s going to be for me, for my clients, for growing something I love.

So here I am. Back. Building something that’s mine. Still working 100 hours a day but creating the kind of work I can be proud of, with the freedom to give my clients the attention, creativity, and care they truly deserve.
