E181: More Than a Label — Reinvention and Resilience

What happens when life forces you to start over? In this episode of More Than a Label, Nicole shares how losing a job became the beginning of an unexpected new chapter as she launched her own pet sitting business with support from Career Path Services and the WIOA Dislocated Worker program. Joined by workforce professional Elizabeth Neal, the conversation explores career pivots, resilience, and the emotional realities of rebuilding after hardship. Together, they discuss what people truly need when navigating uncertainty—not just employment support, but encouragement, dignity, and the belief that a setback does not define a person's future.
