I QUIT my job at 52 without a plan - and I survived!

[@kokofleming8833]

So basically the advice is get yourself a good spouse and you're sorted. Splendid.

[@noelfleming3567]

I'm still looking 😂

"I Quit My Job at 52 Without a Plan ", you had plan A since 1000000BC, it is called a husband

[@gregmurphy2691]

😂😂😂 💯

[@sunnysunshine6271]

Having a providing husband is a plan.

[@BevThorogood]

It was a safety net, not a plan.

[@ChrisASimon]

Thank you for your wonderful down-to-earth inspiration

[@BevThorogood]

Thank you 🙏

I just listened to this on my way home from school (work). I am there. It's time, and the universe has used you to help me realize that and start research about other options. My principal also just recently implied that my job is going to be reduced next fall as well. So messages are coming from all directions and I'm going to listen! Thank you!

[@BevThorogood]

Exciting! What do you think is next for you? 😊

[@Kimcelebratingmidlife]

@@BevThorogood Not sure yet...I have a couple of things I'm investigating - one is the meeting facilitation that I did the "imposter syndrome" video about. The other is 3D home printing. I've always been interested in construction/architecture and never did anything that direction. Maybe now is the time? We shall see!

I think you may have gotten teary because you felt the depth of how true that moment was. You felt the pure joy in making the decision you made for yourself. Sharing that with us came from a place of compassion. It’s by telling our own stories that we connect with others AND heal ourselves. You just did both. This talk resonated with me deeply because I’m on the precipice of making this same decision. I’m coming up on many fears and feelings of inadequacy…like I haven’t EARNED it yet…even though I’ve worked in my career and the same position dutifully for 26 years. Fears because both my parents suffered major health setbacks after they retired…I want to LIVE fully…and experience all the joys that have gotten pushed aside due to my career. I don’t want to waste away. I’m not prepared financially, but have been a civil servant (teacher) and will have a pension. Ugh… Bev….theres so much to unpack here. Thanks so much for giving me some insight. ❤

[@beautifullifesageg.3951]

Kim…are you a teacher? I am and in a space where I’m there too. It’s just not a fit anymore and at 55 (after a 26 year career), I’m wanting more for myself and to feel energized…not deadened at days end.

We have this in common! I was 52 when I quit after working the same job for 31 years and thankfully my guy encouraged me to step away while he has been supporting me even now as I’m trying to figure it all out! You are about 4 years ahead of me and you give me so much hope. I feel such depression in these days and a feelings of what is my purpose always whirling through my head. I know I’ll figure it out. I’m going through the mourning period after leaving all I ever knew behind. My channel really helps. It almost feels like therapy at times getting the thoughts out loud on my channel. This walk and talk was very validating. Thank you❤

[@BevThorogood]

It's good that you're taking your time to figure things out though Tracie. I do believe what's for you will find you x

[@johnmannix8237]

Privelged position to have a husband provide for u.

[@BevThorogood]

I don't disagree. We're a partnership and we support each other. I did also work full time for 36 years, bring up 2 children and support his career. We work together.

[@Archiegser]

Well done you, it does take courage to do what you did. I did the same at age 61. Enjoy whatever you do and your video is very good grounded work. Thanks for sharing.

[@BevThorogood]

Thank you 🙏

[@urtesttube]

Feels good tohave more time for yourself. It is becoming tougher to retire early now.

[@twwoody813]

All well and good, when you are in the financial position to do so 🙄
