This episode is for anyone dealing with job loss, having anxiety about layoffs, or managers navigating these difficult conversations.

Share this episode with a friend, teammate, or manager who needs a human‑first take on layoffs. Together we’re building a braver, kinder world—one open‑hearted leader at a time.
