After 18 years in her former job with a large company as an office manager, Bonnie has been unemployed since November 2009. Since that time, she has developed a survival routine. Every morning, she heads to her local One Stop Career Center, where she is learning new computer skills, then returns to walk her dogs. Bonnie says: ‘Being outside and being with other people makes all the difference.’
Christine was a director of development and communications at a non-profit organization. The job was fulfilling, yet stressful to the point that it began having negative effects on her family life and her health. When Christine decided to leave her job, she had to let go of her idea of who she was. Now, she has embarked on a new path that allows her more time for what matters most.
Christine says: ‘I realized that it wasn’t worth it. What was important was my health, my happiness, my children.’
