The In-Between: Layoffs, Identity, and Finding Joy (Even at 3 a.m.)


Listen Later

When your career becomes your identity…what happens after a layoff?

In this real-talk episode, Annie and Jose switch on the mics mid-conversation to unpack the messy middle: grief, doubt, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to “figure it out.” We talk dopamine lists, celebrating small wins, and staying open to unexpected pivots—from part-time retail to an auto-tech certification—while still honoring creative callings.

In this episode:
  • Coping with industry-wide layoffs & rejection cycles
  • Separating who you are from what you do
  • Practical “dopamine list” ideas to reset your mood
  • Taking bridge jobs without losing your long-term path
  • Why being a “jack of all trades” can be a superpower
  • The culture smart companies build (and why it matters)
