I thought I’d post on here as I’ve had some great advice previously and I’m in a bit of a pickle with how to help my mum. My mum is in a job that she’s been in and progressed internally to a high level over more than 10 years, she has started to hate it to the point it’s making her quite unwell. They really want to keep her so they’ve changed round her role and she’s just starting a new one. She doesn’t know yet fully what it’s like. She’s wanting to do something where she makes a difference as she has zero job satisfaction but with that comes a large pay cut. She’s just about to turn 60 and has a house that she rents out so can afford a cut to a degree. I find it hard to give her advice because I don’t know what to suggest. What I’m asking is, what would your advice be to her as someone you don’t know personally? Thank you so much for anyone who has read this and takes the times to comment ❤️

If she can afford to have lower pay then I'd tell her to go for it. Money isn't everything and isn't worth making herself unwell for. Sometimes you just have to prioritise yourself and your mental health. Being happy is so much more important than a bit of extra money x
