Why you’re terrified to leave your job (the fear of making it worse)

If you feel stuck in a job you hate but are terrified to leave because you fear making things worse, you are not alone. In this video, I share how staying stuck for 15 years taught me the psychology of the “devil you know” trap, and the exact mental shift you need to build your way out without starting over at the bottom. Because the biggest thing keeping you stuck in a job you hate isn't laziness—it's the terrifying question: "What if the next opportunity is even worse?" And if you are an introvert who is exhausted, terrified of ending up with another toxic manager, or feeling trapped because the financial math doesn't seem to add up, this survival strategy is for you.
