"What happens to your finances and your identity when the corporate world decides you are no longer 'essential' ?"

In this episode of The Financial Marathon, we sit down with Tessa Callan, a former senior manager in the pharmaceutical industry whose career took a sudden turn when she was laid off.

This experience led her to write the thought-provoking book, “Let Down: What Happens After You Are No Longer Essential.”

We dive deep into the intersection of career stability, personal finance, and the psychological impact of losing a high-level position.

In this episode, we explore:

- The Corporate Illusion: Why being "essential" is a fragile label and how to protect your finances before the storm hits.

- The "Let Down" Effect: The hidden financial and mental costs of a layoff that no one warns you about.

- Turning Crisis into a Lever : How Tessa transitioned from a senior corporate role to finding a new voice and mission.

- The Future of Work : Why the traditional career path is changing and how to adapt your financial strategy to a more volatile world.
