There’s never been a better time to bet on yourself. When I got laid off last October, I had two choices: 1️⃣ Apply to more jobs and wait for someone to choose me 2️⃣ Or choose myself I picked the latter. And in just six months: 🙏I was featured in Fortune and CNBC 🙏Spoke at universities like Cornell University and Pace University 🙏Led workshops with incredible women 🙏Built a community that now inspires thousands But what you didn’t see? 🧘‍♀️Nervous system regulation 🚶‍♀️Long walks, tears, meditations 😣The fear of posting when I didn’t feel “ready” 💪The stretching that comes with true expansion LinkedIn wasn’t just a place to find a job, it became a place where I learned I could get paid to be myself. So if you’re in a moment of doubt, I hope my story inspires you. Take the leap. Share the story. People are listening. And it’s never been a better time to get paid to be yourself. #layoffjourney #personabranding #betonyourself #thefutureofwork #linkedin
