79: It's OK to Walk Away with Sara McElroy (Part 2)
Manage episode 364992278 series 2801857
In a conversation that is near and dear to my heart stepping away from the Wall Street way of being, this episode touches on hustle culture and the inner knowing of when it’s time to step away and off the hamster wheel of life. Society has ingrained in our souls the feelings of worth as a title, or elevation up the corporate ladder, where especially as women, we only feel our worth is a product of the masculine embodiment of DOING, rather than BEING as we are, and knowing this alone is ENOUGH.
From a trauma-informed perspective, staying in ANY situation whether that’s a toxic lifestyle, career, relationship, or patterning ingrained in your everyday habits can cause lasting energetic drains that not only suck your Soul dry, but leave you with the remnants of trauma that you carry long after the toxic experience is gone.
In this 2 part series, Sara unlocks her secrets of pioneering “The Great Resignation” movement to heal from the effects of her stress-induced diagnosis that left her nervous system traumatized and dysregulated, leading her to a spiritual experience in the Sacred Valley of Peru. She shares how to know when it’s OK to walk away, how to cultivate courage to make bold moves, and how she has created not just a movement, but a deeper message for women to embody a more feminine way of working to break the cycle of the hustle over heart mentality.
If you’ve felt the calling for change in your life, this episode will help you cultivate the courage and know your next move to STEP AWAY with grace, confidence, and connection to something deeper than yourself.
About Sara:
Sara McElroy is a former hustle culture devotee, ex-chief marketing officer, the Wall Street Journal’s poster girl for pandemic career burnout, and a two-time member of the Great Resignation: class of 2021 and 2022. Following a stress-induced shingles diagnosis in early 2021, Sara decided to hit the reset button on her life; she quit her hard-won CMO job and trekked to Peru's Sacred Valley to reset her frayed nervous system. When she returned, she relocated from the buzzy metropolis of Atlanta to the beach in South Florida for a new job and a fresh start. But she once again encountered deeply ingrained cultural issues in her new role, and ultimately, she walked away again. Finding herself in the company of millions of other women who also set unfulfilling jobs ablaze during the Great Resignation, she returned to her journalism roots and began to explore the stories, breaking points, and defining moments that led women to seek greater opportunity mid-pandemic. These conversations became the genesis of Raze to Rise – an organization created to amplify women’s voices from the Great Resignation and inspire others to blaze new trails in their own careers.
