49: How to survive a layoff without losing your confidence or sense of self
from The Bold PhD Podcast · host Gertrude Nonterah, Ph.D.
Being laid off doesn’t just mess with your paycheck. It messes with your identity. Over the last ten years, I’ve been laid off twice. And I won’t sugarcoat it: each time was humiliating and it made me seriously question my worth. But those experiences taught me several life-changing lessons on how to survive and thrive mentally, financially, from a deep place internally so that so that no company ever again gets to decide how powerful or confident I feel. If you’ve just been laid off, or you’re living with the fear that you might be, stay with me. In this video, we’ll about surviving and rebuilding after a layoff in a way so you cannot be broken or shaken by a company’s decision ever again.
