"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).
Jackie - thank you so much for reading! I’m so glad my story could resonate. Sorry to hear you’ve been through it as well, but I’m glad it also gave you wisdom about yourself 😊
So sorry you went through it too! It was nice to read all of the same emotions I had with mine in your story! In the end, I wouldn’t go back and change it if I could because I learned so much about myself and my strength and it made me appreciate money and financial stability even more.
