​More About This Webinar

​Layoffs don’t just change your job, they can disrupt your identity, nervous system, community, and confidence. This session is a regulation-first, strategy-second reset designed to help you stabilize, get clear, and move forward without rushing into the wrong next role.

​Who It’s For

• ​Laid off recently (or still recovering from one)

• ​Carrying layered life stress (health, divorce, caregiving, relocation, grief)

• ​Feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or isolated

• ​Struggling with LinkedIn + comparison spirals

• ​Navigating pay/title resets or financial panic

​This space is especially supportive for women, caregivers, minority professionals, and older workers who often face longer recovery and heavier invisible labor during transitions.

​What We’ll Cover

​1) The Layoff Aftermath (Wellness + Stability)

• ​“Minimum viable wellness” to restore decision quality

• ​Burnout in interviews (confidence, clarity, presence)

• ​Energy budgeting + quick grounding rituals

• ​Scripts for guilt/shame conversations with family

• ​Replacing workplace community (ERGs, belonging, support)

​2) What’s Next (Career Strategy + Execution)

• ​Career alignment check: what still fits vs what’s familiar

• ​Targeting roles + industries that match skills and capacity

• ​LinkedIn without burnout (time-boxing + boundary tactics)

• ​Networking + interview readiness + transition storytelling

• ​Offers, negotiation, and navigating pay/title resets
