Unpopular opinion - losing your job can be the BEST thing that happens to you. While job loss can trigger feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness, it can also be the perfect time to thrive.
Our jobs take up a huge chunk of our lives. 8 to 10-hour days, 40-60-hour weeks - sometimes more! Now that you have ALL that time back (temporarily, at least), there's so much you can do to pour into yourself and maximize this season to evolve into a better you.
Aside from lining up interviews, applying to jobs, and braving the job search streets as you hunt for your next career opportunity, I want you to take advantage of this season of freedom. Coming from someone who has experienced unexpected job loss multiple times, I guarantee this can be your time to rest, grow, connect, and challenge yourself.
