Yet, despite the creeping sense of greyness blanketing my life, I needed my salary to support my family
and an alternative job that I felt excited about, at the right level was hard to find. As a result, I wound
up feeling completely stuck, helpless and even guilty for feeling the way I was.
For a time, I tried to reconcile myself to the fact that sticking with a job I was unhappy in was what it
meant to be grown up. It was the realistic and responsible choice given where my life was… But this
approach was not sustainable – not if I wanted to protect my mental health and be happy at work, and
therefore in life, again. I went round in circles with it in my head before eventually biting the bullet
and making changes.
I have since found these thoughts and feelings to be so much more prevalent in mums than I realised.
This is why I dedicate my coaching to helping mainly (but not exclusively) mums in the same situation.
In the coming months I will cover areas I hope you find helpful, all related to similar situations as I have
experienced and of course tips of how to move forward. However, I also want to make sure this is
relevant to you, so please send any specific questions or topic suggestions to me at
hello@rebeccaamincoaching.co.uk.
