How Unemployment Can Change Your Life
|
I was laid off in 2017 and had my job eliminated again in 2019. During my months of unemployment, I felt like I was entering a void. I had put so much weight in what I do for work as my identity, that when those jobs disappeared, I felt like I was in an identity crisis.

Hi Reader, A few weeks ago, I was helping a friend prepare to leave their long-time job and job search for the first time in their career. Now I've helped people, especially impact professionals navigating career identity crisis, make career moves for a decade now. The opinions and advice about job searching came pouring out. I realized, "wow, I say these things ALL the time, but I've never written them down. I should do that!" So this is long overdue :) Happy to share: Lauren's Top 8 Job...
Hello friend, I hope you get exactly what you need right now. Whatever that is. What I needed was a fun conversation that continues to fight for what I believe in: disability justice.
