Ep. 242: Layoffs & AI: The Real Fear No One Talks About


Listen Later

👉 It’s not just layoffs or AI—it’s an identity shift. If your role changed tomorrow… who would you be? 👀

It’s not just layoffs.
It’s not even just AI.


It’s the quiet question many high achieving leaders are sitting with right now:
“If my role changes… or disappears… who am I?”

In this episode, we go beyond surface-level career anxiety and into what’s really happening underneath...an identity shift.

If you’ve been feeling unsettled, questioning your next move, or noticing yourself overworking, overthinking, or pulling back, chances are this episode will help you make sense of it.

You’ll learn:

  • Why this time in tech (er...maybe the entire planet!?) is triggering deeper identity questions

  • The 3 uncomfortable truths about identity shifts (and why they feel so hard!)

  • Why you can’t think your way through this and what actually helps

  • How to navigate the “in-between” without losing confidence

  • Simple ways to ground your energy so you can take your next step

This isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about learning how to move through uncertainty with more clarity, self-trust, and intention.

If you’re in a moment of transition, chosen or not, you’re not alone.

And you don’t have to rush your way through it.
