From Layoff to Liftoff: How to Bounce Back in Your Career (Podcast Episode)

“I wish I had a better spin on that initial journey and what it was like afterward. But the truth is it broke me. It broke my heart. It made me question a lot of the work I was doing.”

I had the chance to chat with Neha on her Career Catharsis Podcast. Our focus was on my experience being laid off.

There are many parts of my layoff journey that I didn’t expect to face - from the challenge of losing my social networks to the financial setbacks of having to sell off some belongings out of fear of not having enough money saved before I got another job. The whole experience was painful.

An important reminder that I made then and still make to this day is that the layoff was not my fault. In my case, I was laid off because the company was downsizing after poor financial planning. So for those who’ve experienced a layoff, I hope you remind yourself that this layoff is not a reflection of your performance. Don’t be tempted to blame yourself.
