Erica J. Glenn

So many new faces on my page😍 let me introduce myself 😁 My name is Erica and I am married to my high school sweetheart 💍and I am 41 years old. My current occupation is a Community Manager. I am a published author. I have 3 amazing children, a dog and some plants to care for.

I worked for one of the largest Low Income Public Housing Authorities here in Pittsburgh for 7 years. I was a Property Manager, typical "good paying job". Yeah, but I was all stressed out to get that paycheck where someone else got to tell me what I was worth. 😏

I got tired of the stress the job was putting on my health. I suffered from obesity, high blood pressure, migraines, anxiety, and depression. A little over 5 years ago I had to resign from that job I loved to take care of me.

I was so depressed I didn’t want to leave the house. I tried an MLM because I was terrified to work for anyone again and I could do it behind the computer screen. I tried working for a non profit. I tried being a small business owner. I tried a company where management was out of the city. I learned a lot through this process of elimination.

It came down to connections with people and going with my gut to hop back into corporate America. I hop back a year ago and haven’t looked back. My current job is like a culmination of them all and I love it. ✨

Moral of the story despite my fear, I didn’t get stuck. I wasn’t afraid to say this is not a good fit for me. I moved forward and created a stress free work environment for myself.

I don’t know who needs to her this. I know how stressful anticipating your weekend is coming to an end and dreading tomorrow is Monday. Don’t get complacent. Stress will kill you and they will move right along to the next new hire. Make that tough decision and Do what is best for you! 😘
