Understanding the Cost of Staying

Many individuals remain in unfulfilling jobs due to the stories they tell themselves about guilt and commitment.

This mindset can be detrimental, as it blinds them to the toll that remaining in toxic environments takes on their well-being and personal growth. The realization that staying might be costing them more than they perceive can be a pivotal moment in prompting a change.
