Be honest… have you had this thought too?

Hey sis,


This week my socials have been blowing up with one topic…leaving medicine.


And if I’m being honest…
I’ve been there too.


At one point, I was so burned out… I applied to Trader Joe’s.
Like, fully ready to walk away and start over somewhere simpler.


And if we’re really keeping it 💯?I was this close 🤏🏾 to packing a bag and disappearing to an island somewhere.


But instead… I gave myself space.

Space to rest.

Space to recover.

Space to remember why I chose this path in the first place.

And that changed everything.


Not because everything around me magically got better—
but because I stopped neglecting myself inside of it.


So let me ask you…

Have you ever had that thought?

Or more honestly—how often do you have it?

Let’s keep it real. Hit reply and tell me.


Chat Soon,

Nikia
