What Do You Do When You’ve Bitten Off More Than You Can Chew?
Overcommitment chronicles of a multi-passionate woman with inattentive ADHD
I can’t believe I’m in this situation again. One would think that after the thousandth and one time, I would’ve learned my lesson, yet here I am….again.
I am stretched too thin and exhausted beyond belief with no one to blame but myself.
How it started
The past six months at work has been rough. Multiple unexpected changes have happened and I’ve considered quitting everyday. Not because the work is hard or the environment is toxic, but because I feel underutilized and misaligned with the role. After four years, it’s safe to say I have outgrown it.
So, you can imagine my excitement when a Bankers Life recruiter reached out to me. It felt like divine intervention. Plus, anything new always captures my attention.
I’ve had my Life/Health license since 2009, which is how she found me.
I left the industry in 2011 because being in companies that operated more like a MLM than a financial services company ruined my experience. I tried a few different companies through the years but none of them felt right.
