I talk with journalist Sara McElroy about her career. She shares how overwork and a toxic work environment led to an amount of stress her body couldn\\u2019t handle, changing her whole life only to end up in another toxic work environment, snd how both of those experiences led her to look more into why women especially were leaving their jobs and collecting their stories.

Sara McElroy is a former hustle culture devotee, ex-chief marketing officer, the Wall Street Journal\\u2019s poster girl for pandemic career burnout, and a two-time member of the Great Resignation: class of 2021 and 2022. Following a stress-induced shingles diagnosis in early 2021, Sara decided to hit the reset button on her life; she quit her hard-won CMO job and relocated from the buzzy metropolis of Atlanta to the beach in South Florida for a new job and a fresh start. But she once again encountered deeply ingrained cultural issues in her new role, and ultimately, she walked away again. Finding herself in the company of millions of other women who also set unfulfilling jobs ablaze during the Great Resignation, she returned to her journalism roots and began to explore the stories, breaking points, and defining moments that led women to seek greater opportunity mid-pandemic. These conversations became the genesis of Raze to Rise \\u2013 an organization created to amplify women\\u2019s voices from the Great Resignation and inspire others to blaze new trails in their own careers.
