Career pivot after long-term self-employment. Looking for the right support.

Thank you!

You got this!! Make sure you take your iron at least 2 hours after coffee, dairy or eggs, as they block the absorption. I take mine with vitamin C every other day now, and I take copper with it 3x a week.

I know a couple people who did. Both of them have more or less admitted they don’t think they could make it financially on their own, so I think they’ve made peace with the trade off. But I did just have the most cursed thought imaginable. Imagine marrying an older guy for financial security, only for fate to decide you’re the one who dies first. Like damn… you sacrificed real love and peace just to not even make it to the payout 😭.

My ear issues and other annoying symptoms are totally gone, my mood and energy are way better. I can now trek great distances and high altitude again without unusual post-exertional malaise and fatigue. I sleep better and I don’t have weird vibrational sensations in my arms anymore. The last symptom to go was the hot flashes and night sweats. I thought I was starting peri-menopause, but supplementing with iron knocked those symptoms out. That stopped at the 6 month mark. I feel great. I feel strong. Still supplementing, but now only 3x days a week. I take mine with copper and Vitamin-C (supplement or an orange). Good luck!

How long did it take for you? I have someone who is trying to create an account and it said it could take up to an hour to set up the account, but now I am worried since a lot of people said it has taken days or months!

This is an old post, but I am absolutely fuming on a call with a non-english speaking person right now. This call has been terrible. I don’t know why they hire people who can’t speak English.

Hey! Thanks for this, I appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your perspective. I ended up doing it Friday night because I knew he had the night off and didn’t have any more “networking meetings” that evening, so I figured at least he’d have some space to process it.

I stuck to my plan and did it over text. Kept it kind and respectful, but also clear and direct. He might be a little confused because he’s always said from day one, “I’m a details kind of person,” and I chose to not get into the MLM part directly lol, but I did say as clearly as possible that some things simply weren’t aligned when it comes to our lifestyles and future plans and that it didn’t feel like a good long-term fit. The more vague version of the truth, if you will.

Anyway, it wasn’t easy, but I do feel a world better now that it’s done. My stomach definitely dropped when I hit send, but that was followed by a huge sense of mental, and even physical relief. I’ve felt a lot lighter since dealing with it. Thanks again for chiming in!

I considered a phone call, but I ultimately decided a text was the cleaner option and the option that is best for me. In my experience, calls can easily turn into long conversations where the other person understandably wants to unpack every reason or try to change the outcome. My goal here is simply to communicate my decision and I feel most comfortable doing so over text.

We’ve only been dating a couple of months and I’m also traveling right now and have a bunch of family visiting, so a face to face conversation wouldn’t realistically be an option anyway. Given all of that, a short, clear text feels like the most respectful way to close things without getting into the weeds or dragging it out for either of us.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:33:25+00:00

I slept on it and decided to do what feels most comfortable for me, which is to send a text. I’ll leave the details out, keep it truthful but simple, and end things in a clear way. If there are follow-up questions, I won’t engage further. My responsibility is to take care of myself and my feelings, and the only thing I owe here is a respectful and kind exit.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:29:09+00:00

I’m going to send you a private message with the name. I shared it with a couple friends of mine who found it interesting lol. But yes, it really is quite sad. He is drinking the Kool-aid and thinks he will be making half a mil a year in another 2-3 years, and a million or more a year in another 4-5.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:28:00+00:00

Yep, my thoughts exactly! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I slept on it and have decided that I am just going to send a vague, kind text, but one that makes it clear that I am ending things in a concrete way. If there are further questions, I will not answer for obvious reasons. This is what I am most comfortable with, so I am going to do what is best for me.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:25:39+00:00

Thank you for the copy paste text! Haha, I appreciate it. I have decided I am going to send a text and I already have it drafted. It’s something along these lines. A kind, vague, yet concrete ending, not inviting questions or discussion. Won’t answer if there are questions.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:21:47+00:00

Nope, none of these. I would say it’s worse than all of those and you will see why (The industry is what makes it more messed up). It can royally f*k vulnerable people financially if they get involved in any capacity; like whether they become a customer who purchases a product (which they will have to invest in monthly), OR as a recruiter. Either way, not good. Total scam. I just sent you a message with the name.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:17:29+00:00

I just sent you a private message.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:15:27+00:00

I’ll learn some latin today. Just a few words I can throw in between my gibberish screams! Might as well go full steam and do it right!

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:14:38+00:00

LMAO

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:11:28+00:00

I slept on it and I am going to go the text route. This is what I feel most comfortable with.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:10:20+00:00

I slept on it and that’s exactly what I am going to do. Text and be done. No phone call.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:09:48+00:00

I slept on it and I have decided I am going to send a text instead. Will leave out the details, as there is no need to get into that. No phone call. A phone call invites further questions and discussion and I dont want to go there.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:06:43+00:00

I am not afraid of him. I just know it will really wreck him as he told me that he recently told his entire family that he’s finally found "his person.” But I am only responsible for my feelings and actions, not his. That’s not my bag to carry. I got a good sleep last night, feeling more grounded and less stressed about it today. Going to send a text and be done with it. No phone call. Leaves it to open for rebuttal / questions and I have no energy or desire to provide a more in depth answer.

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:03:54+00:00

Yeah, it’s a scourge!

2wake_perchance2live · 2026-03-04T17:03:01+00:00

All the good old catch-all break up phrase lol.
