Grief doesn't wait for a pink slip. In this episode, we explore the layered grief of working under capitalism—when the job keeps going, but parts of you have already ended. Akilah unpacks the grief of staying employable at the expense of your well-being, the ache of entrepreneurship, and what it means to leave a job you once loved.

We ask:

• What did I lose just to keep getting paid?
• What version of me is still performing out of fear?
• What would I need to stop pretending this doesn't hurt?

This isn't just about employment—it's about worth, identity, and what we've had to bury to stay afloat. More at radicalselfie.org/wild
