This past week has been an emotional whirlwind following the Vacasa layoff. I've felt sadness for the dedication I poured into a company I once loved, anger for not being valued enough, and love from the incredible support of my colleagues. Yet, the strongest emotion I've experienced is relief—relief that my phone will no longer ring at all hours, that the endless questions will cease, and that Vacasa will carry on without me. Now, I can cherish time with my children, rekindle my creativity, and connect with people face-to-face. Today, I spoke with a close friend who reminded me that losing and starting jobs, moving, and losing a family member are among life's most stressful experiences. Remarkably, I've faced three of these in just one month. It's okay to feel hurt and unmotivated at times. The most important aspects of life are our family and personal well-being. Throughout my husband's military career, we've moved frequently, and I've learned that being uncomfortable is part of growth. Comfort can breed complacency, and to truly grow, we must embrace discomfort and learn from it. Experiencing layoffs and life's stressors can be overwhelming. Remember, your well-being is vital. Embrace discomfort, as it fosters growth. It's okay not to feel enough sometimes. Acknowledge your emotions, gather strength, and embrace your incredible self. #EmotionalWellbeing #GrowthMindset #SelfCare

I feel this so deeply, I have worked so hard for that company and believed in and helped grow for almost 4 years Vacasa was my passion. I Worked so many hours unpaid because I felt the pressure of trying to keep the wheel turning, I will never forgive myself for choosing Vacasa over running back home while my mother was sick in her final days of living, because I was behind on work from being out during her surgery and recovery. I have lived with that pain and regret for 2 years. I recently went through a health journey where I am getting rid of stressors in my life and this was one I prayed so hard over. I enjoyed my position and feeling accomplished while there, but also couldn’t allow myself to fully unplug and enjoy taking a vacation without fear of this very thing we just experienced. My goal list for 2024 #4 was finding my career, I wasn’t ready but God will move you when it’s time. I don’t know how not to work, that is all I have done since I was 16 to provide a roof over my head and food in the fridge. But I do know God will make a way, and the job that is for me will present itself in time. I will forever have a deep place in my heart for my colleagues and want nothing but the best for them all. Thank you friend ❤️
