from Daylight · host Queen City Podcast Network
What happens when you lose your job mid-career? What is hustle culture and why is it bad for your mental health? Why do people put so much emphasis on what your job is? Why do we try and take our self worth from our employer? In today’s episode, we answer these questions and more. My special guest, Laura, and I talk about what happened when we both lost our jobs mid-career (one by choice and one not by choice). Our mental health tanked. We cried. We despaired. But, like every low in life, we always come back up stronger and fighting. Join us as we talk about our own experiences with job loss and navigating all the complexities around your occupation and your self worth. Podcaster’s note: This was recorded in June 2025. We are both employed now! Yay!
