Explaining Layoffs to Kids When You Don't Understand It Yourself
Last week my son asked "what happens if you lose your job?" and I froze. How do you explain layoffs to kids when you don't understand them yourself?
In this episode, I'm sharing what I learned the night I thought I was getting laid off—and the practical scripts that actually work when kids ask the hard questions. What to say when they ask if you'll lose your job. How to explain why their friend's parent got fired. What NOT to say (I've made these mistakes). And most importantly: how to be honest about uncertainty while still being their safe place.
No corporate jargon. No toxic positivity. Just real talk for parents navigating impossible times.
