speaking from experience 🫠

Getting laid off is STRESSFUL AF but doing these 5 things immediately afterwards helped me a lot:

1. Read your severance documents very carefully & multiple times (get a second opinion & learn about everything you are entitled to)
2. Use up benefits and move up any medical appointments (if it’s a part of your package)
3. Apply for employment insurance (like, RN! Don’t hold up your benefits)
4. Create or revisit your budget (not a time to girl math all your problems away) 
5. Unsubscribe from newsletters, brands, accounts etc that might tempt you to spend

There’s a whole bunch of other things that you’ll have to deal with, but this list is a start. And it’s the beginning of a redirection, so take a deep breath and tackle it one day at a time. ❤️
