At the beginning of the year, I was hopeful for my future – I had a career that aligned with my values, a relationship that was growing with each passing day, and I was ready to uproot my life to be closer to my loved ones.

All of that changed on January 20th, when my job situation changed dramatically. Because of the angst, turmoil, and uncertainty with my job, some of the hopes and dreams I had are now put on hold or at risk of not happening.

What once was hope is now fear and anxiety. I want my job to be fulfilling again or find a new job that will be. I want to feel hopeful again that the future I envisioned and hope for is not out of reach. I want to feel at peace.
