Packed a suitcase and bought a one way ticket to New York ✌🏻

I wouldn’t change a thing, and they go hand in hand. Moving to New York was the best decision for a lot of reasons, but mainly, it made me appreciate my family. I wouldn’t be content now if I hadn’t left and realized how much I missed and love home.

Spending significant money to travel, even though I was scared to do it alone.

Taking time to live alone, travel alone, and deeply know myself before settling down. I truly believe it helped me find the right partner in life.

I’ve been thinking about what mine is. I think it was forgiving my mother. Changed my life.

likeupliftinghelpful

Forgiveness is so freeing. The relationship we have now is closer than I could have ever imagined. I’m almost 40 and I was just thinking about how much I miss her because we didn’t talk much today. 15 years ago, I never would have thought this is where we’d be.

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary. Outpatient surgical sub specialty, but the same salary “formula” as my previous role in urgent care in the same system. Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.

Kind of the opposite of the One Show I guess. Please share because I cannot fathom how the dry eyes, eye drop commercial I just saw even got presented to a client.
