	In some ways, I don’t like or respect who I’ve become.
	It seems that when I speak up for what I want and believe, it doesn’t go well.
	I feel mistreated and misunderstood at work, yet I remain there.

	My financial situation has me trapped.
	I have talents I’m not using, but I long to do so.
	I want to do work that makes a difference and really means something, but I don’t know how.
