"For a long time, I was uncomfortable talking about being laid off, because I assumed people would think it reflected on me personally." Such an honest reflection. I had the same experience, even though it didn't track with what other people *actually* felt.
This was a wonderful interview...thanks to Anna for sharing her smart, vulnerable insights!
Such a great interview, Chris. I had a lot of the same feelings/experiences as Anna when I got laid off in 2011. It was nice to hear those echoed in someone else's experience. I don't think I've learned quite as much about myself in a short period of time as I did in those 3 months I was job-less (I also got to go to the beach when it wasn't crowded which was a bonus).

Thank you so much for sharing my story, Chris!
