Be prepared for a very different job market and a SLOOOOOWWWW job market. Otherwise, you go on with your bad self girl!

Welcome from one Product person to another. :)
I say, if your gut is telling you to leave you company, then go for it. You'll do great.
Product is a great field to be looking for work these days, depending on your vertical and it's not that difficult to switch verticals in Product with your experience (assuming you have more than a few years of experience as a product leader).
I'm happy to help review your resume or just chat about where you want to go next in your career, and you are welcome to connect with me on FGB and LinkedIn (I have a pretty good network of people who hire Product people).
Good luck in your journey and I look forward to connecting with you.

My first thought is "be brave." This is going to involve lots of vulnerability, courage, and maybe some shame. Leaving is difficult, but so is change. I am in a similar situation, and sometimes, it is difficult to stay motivated. Take the next right step. Breathe. Then, take the next right step. Good luck.
