Sometimes we need help, and that help comes in many forms. For some, it's a tribe that will hype you up. For others, it's breaking through barriers of shame and embarrassments. For all, it's making sure we protect ourselves with the tools to overcome.

Let's talk about vulnerability, success, self-awareness, and being honest with ourselves about what we need.

Since we launched Tip That Scale, we've wanted to hear and share layoff stories. Not to cause more harm but to empower you and to help others.

Well, we're finally doing it. And it makes sense the first layoff story we share is one of ours.

You can share your layoff story with us, and we will share it on a future episode of Tip That Scale.

Please DM us on Instagram or Twitter or email us the subject line, My Layoff Story.

There's a lot of chatter on the web about networking. We are often encouraged to network when we experience a layoff or when we want to change career direction, but are we doing it right?
