"The day before, I had a pretty candid conversation with my manager about what I wouldn't do," she started.
Linea's significant other encouraged her to take some time off after her dismissal, turn off all her alarms, and sleep.
She took her lover's advice and embarked on a 60-day journey of self-discovery and personal growth, focused on investing in her personal life, something she had neglected before.
"I decided to take time off and not immediately look for another opportunity," she shared.
Linea took trips to different destinations, visited her son, went fishing and hunting, and took on new tutoring students, improving their math efficiencies considerably.
During this time, she found that all her stress had dissipated, and she could do whatever she wanted without the burden of work.
Linea landed dream job
When she felt ready to return to the workforce, she took charge of her career path and had her first interview on March 4th and her second a week later.
The same day as her second interview, she received an offer with the requested salary.
"I praise God for this season and all the continued blessings," Linea expressed. "Life comes with ebbs and flows, ups and downs, peaks and valleys, but the potential bad times won't be so bad when you are in absolute good company."
Linea says the experience has taught her to "do what she gotta do so she can do what she wanna do."
