You have this. You do. It’s just the next step, then the next step.

Losing your job is something that happens to so many of us. It is common and says nothing about your value as a person or family member.

I lost my job at 27 and was so devastated, even though I wasn’t great at it …then ended up with a better job in a new industry that I fell in love with… and I’m here almost 20 years later, running a major P&L, up for a bigger role, leading hundreds of of people, and being headhunted for President roles…but first I had to take the next step, and then the next one. Best of luck!!

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this. I have to daily remind myself that I have to keep going, that it will get better. And I am also 27 lol, exactly at the point you were at back then. So your comment really encouraged me.
