Some things in life you just can’t plan for—whether it’s moving to a new country, facing an unexpected job loss, or realizing that the systems that once worked for you no longer serve you. In this episode, we dive into the humbling experience of change and why letting go of control can sometimes be the best move.

We also tackle the rage-bait debate on LinkedIn—should people who’ve never been laid off offer career advice? A viral post claimed that those without layoff experience should stay out of the conversation—and that people should stop telling job seekers to take any job, like working at McDonald's. We break down this perspective and discuss why job-hunting strategies should be personal, not prescriptive.
