Career Crossroads, Coping, and Community—Facing the Struggles of Unemployment
Ever felt lost without a job? How do you stay positive during a job search?

In this episode of Milk and Madness, we discuss the challenges and emotional impacts of facing unemployment. We share our personal experiences of career uncertainty, stress, and the importance of identity in both our professional and personal lives. We talk about the struggles of job searching, the importance of networks, and the broader implications on mental health and family dynamics.
