E160: Choosing Wellness Over a Job
We all know work can be difficult, but when does difficult become unhealthy?
This week, Chase Read returns to share about her difficult decision to leave a job. The work was something she loved, believed in, and had spent a lot of time studying to do. But when it became clear that the job was a detriment to her mental and emotional wellness, Chase discerned that it was time to step away. And, although it required her to step into unfamiliar territory, Chase was comforted to find a familiar God walking through that transition with her.
