Losing your job has major impact
Whether it was your choice or not — it affects you.
Your rhythm, your self-image, your sense of place.
It’s a shift that moves through your head, your heart, your future.
You might feel uncertainty, anger, maybe relief.
Sometimes all at once.
And still — this is also a moment of possibility.
A chance to pause.
To realign.
To choose something that fits where you are now.

and build from there. Intentionally, and with clarity.
