This is the episode where I talk about feelings. Specifically I’m talking about the three S’s: Shock, Stress, and Shame. I talk about how to treat yourself right after the shock of a layoff and how to handle the stress of unemployment. I also talk about how to handle well-meaning people who ask you “What are you going to do now?” in a time of mass layoffs. Plus, I share why there is absolutely no shame in getting laid off and why you should reframe and find solidarity instead. I end with some homework to help you get perspective on your next steps and a challenge to share your lay off story publicly. If you know someone who just got laid off, send this their way.
