Claiming Your Value: Moving Forward When Plans Fall Apart

Send us Fan MailThis week on Unstuck Career, I sit down with Juli Becker, who truly embodies what it means to be “in the middle of the story.” Juli came prepared with a candid look at navigating transitions, setbacks, and the uncertainty that comes with being let go from a job you loved. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to regroup after major life changes—divorce, a life-altering crash, or that unexpected layoff—Julie's story is a must-listen.We dig into what it feels like to lose your sense of career "safety," the trap of thinking any job is a guarantee, and the surprising power of mindset when the world seems out of control (including why COVID lockdowns looked totally different through Juli’s eyes!). You'll hear about the struggle between taking "any job" versus holding out for something that truly lights you up, and how to shift away from pigeonholing yourself—especially as your career matures. We also touch on what you really gain from years of experience, and how to leverage your unique strengths in a market that can feel stacked against you.If you’re on the fence about your next career move, wrestling with self-doubt, or tempted to settle for less, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone—and that the key to true safety and fulfillment is trusting yourself to figure it out.
