Hello, I’m Tina K. Davis, a multi-business owner with ADHD, starting over again at 47. This new beginning follows my second divorce and a major layoff from a job I had dedicated nearly two decades to.
After allowing myself a one-year pity party, it's time to move forward and figure out who I am now. Hopefully, you'll follow along and see where I end up on this journey.
Today marks one year since I was laid off from a company where I spent 17 years. The layoff itself was part of a larger workforce reduction, but it was still a tough pill to swallow.
My career had become my identity; I started in a call center and worked my way up, giving everything I had. It was hard to let go because that job had become such a defining part of me.
This wasn’t the first time I’d experienced a layoff. However, it was the second time in my adult life I thought I had a career path I could retire from, only to have it pulled away.
Two months later, my husband of 19 years asked for a divorce. I was already grieving my lost career, and now I had to figure out who I was as a newly single woman.
The initial months were all about survival—just trying to comprehend what had happened. I wasn't the only one affected by the layoff; it impacted my entire team, including people I had grown close to over the years.
We shared life’s milestones together—births, weddings, divorces—and we had become like a little family. But suddenly, we were all cut loose, left to navigate this change on our own.
Not only did I lose a career, but I lost the daily interactions with people who had become a significant part of my life.
They were more than just coworkers; they were friends. When you leave a workplace after so long, it’s not just the job that you’re mourning—it’s the relationships and the familiarity.
The breakup of my marriage was another profound loss. It wasn’t entirely unexpected; the relationship had shown signs of strain.
Still, it’s hard to accept the end of something you invested years into. This experience made me realize I didn’t really know who I was anymore, nor did I understand my purpose.
Amidst these changes, I still had Petri's Place Wildlife Rehab. Though it was just a small operation at the time, I put much of my energy into growing the sanctuary over the past year.
It became my outlet, a place where I could channel my effort when I didn’t have the energy to build something from scratch.
I also opened Antenna Stories Boutique and dedicated more time to Trash Cat Coffee, both of which support the sanctuary.
During this year off, I built up my business ventures to support the nonprofit. The boutique was a coincidence—it came to fruition when I had the time to set it up.
Now, I am no longer in corporate, I’m single, and I’m running multiple businesses on my own. While I was productive, I constantly felt like I wasn’t doing enough. Despite working tirelessly, I was burning myself out.
That brings me to now: I have a blank canvas in front of me, ready for a new beginning. I’m not starting from zero—I have a foundation, a network, and a home.
But I’m crafting a fresh start with a new mindset and focus, using the tools I’ve applied to help others over the years, this time for myself.
Today, October 10th, 2024, marks the end of the pity party. It’s a turning point. I’m redefining who I am, with a mindset focused on growth and self-empowerment. Imposter syndrome—personified by my "Imposter Monster," Dallas—won’t control me like she used to.
This is the start of a new chapter.
So, who am I now? I’m about to find out.
This journey won’t be without challenges, and I’m sure there will be days where I stumble. But with a new perspective and purpose, I’m ready to see where this path leads.
Join me as I create the next version of Tina.
