What happens when your job disappears, but your bills and ambition Don’t? In this raw and powerful episode of Career Convos™️ with Nikki, I talk candidly about what it really feels like to be laid off, and how to navigate the messy middle between endings and new beginnings.

From that gut-punch calendar invite from your boss and HR that changes everything to the silence that follows, this episode is your voice of reason and reminder: you may have lost your job, but you haven’t lost yourself. We get into:

• How to emotionally and strategically handle being laid off, let go, or impacted by a RIF
• Why pausing before jumping into the next job matters more than ever
• The art of rediscovering your value, purpose, and voice post-employment
• How to prep for interviews with clarity and without bitterness
• What “other duties as assigned” really means, and why it’s your career goldmine
• How to use rejection as redirection and avoid the resume black hole
• A word on manifesting better, not just working harder

If you're navigating career transition or feeling stuck after a job loss, let this episode walk with you.
