So relatable Michele. I was never laid off but I left my last job because I wasn't happy. Transitioning and figuring out what you want can be a learning curve for sure.

Yes, and the learning curve can be steep! But I've found that such unexpected transitions end up being for the best. It's hard to see that when you're in the midst of something like a layoff or—like you—leaving a job because you're really unhappy. What I realized about myself was that I needed a push to move on to the next thing. For me, it was getting laid off. I admire the courage you had to make the decision to leave.

Thanks Michele - I appreciate that. I just got to a point where it was def time. I agree that transitions, while hard at the time, end up being for the best if we can lean into them rather than fight it.
