Podcast summary

- has applied for support work jobs last week and waiting to hear back
- doesn’t plan on ‘walking out’ of this job as she wants to get the SIA. Makes jokes that she hasn’t walked out ‘yet’ - her words not mine
- Doesn’t want to be a slave to 9-5
- £10.50 per hour is her minimum wage she will take in any new job
- some mental health talk, came off medication due to weight gain and isn’t registered at a dr in the area as she has been too busy working and doing things in the house
- her friend told her to go see a therapist and she has done before but couldn’t afford it because she was ‘only a care worker’ and it was a waste of money
- doesn’t care about a lot of things, her employment being the example she uses
- has been going more walks with Bella to get fresh air and fitter………….
- when viewing the house she loved it and saw lots of potential in the house, still likes it and loves the garden but something doesn’t feel right. she saw it as a forever home but now feels different about it but can’t pinpoint why- they’re discussing moving house and it’s on the cards for them
Sending love to anyone struggling with their mental health!
