EP 497: All the Cool Girls Get Fired: Reinventing Your Career After 40
Have you been laid off, or are you worried you might be? This week, Jean is joined by Laura Brown (former Editor-in-Chief of InStyle) and Kristina O’Neill (former Editor-in-Chief of WSJ. Magazine), authors of the bold and unfiltered new book, All the Cool Girls Get Fired: How to Let Go of Being Let Go and Come Back on Top.
Both women hit the top of their industries… and then got let go. Now, they’re helping other women, especially Gen Xers and those over 40, navigate layoffs, ageism, financial uncertainty, and the terrifying-but-liberating process of starting over.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why getting fired has nothing to do with your worth, and everything to do with changing industries
How to handle that first day post-layoff (what not to sign, how to negotiate your severance)
Smart money moves to make immediately, whether or not you have an emergency fund
Tips for negotiating with credit card companies, cutting spending fast, and finding bridge income
Choosing your next path: freelancing vs. going back to corporate
Why women in midlife should challenge the shame and secrecy around job loss
And the launch of their new community: The Cool Girl Network
