Good afternoon!
Real talk – I got so fed up with Elon and his chainsaw antics that I launched a pay-what-you-can coaching program for laid-off workers yesterday. The activist in me took over!
As always, I encourage you to take action when you see something you don’t think is right. After 15 years of working in social impact, I believe the best thing we can do to heal the world is take the actions that feel true for us. We’re not powerless, and we all have WAY more influence than we think.
More about the program is below. Please send it to anyone who has experienced a layoff or needs to conduct layoffs and wants to support their employees. It’s going to be a juicy, inspiring, and effective group. Folks can book a 30-minute call with me here to learn more.
Thank you! Let’s mobilize.

Introducing Time Away for Laid-Off Workers
Layoff culture feels wild right now, and I’m not sure we’ve called that out enough.
Big tech gets more ruthless and less caring each year–from accelerated vesting offers and caring PR statements in 2023 to labeling workers as poor performers and cutting off access in 2025. Now Elon’s taken that approach into our federal government, laying off 30k workers in 4 weeks.
It’s not that layoffs should never happen; it’s how we’re doing them – hastily, gruffly, and with mocking disrespect – that’s just not right.
Layoffs hurt human beings. A lot.
Even if you were expecting it, took a package, or hated your job.
You might feel shame, despair, anger, and massive amounts of fear. You may worry about what your former coworkers are saying, and lord knows it’s stressful to sort out what to say on LinkedIn.
I know because I was laid-off, too!
I saw it coming, and my team was exceedingly caring, but I was still shocked, hurt, and angry. I had begun re-skilling but was focused on starting a family, not orchestrating a career change.
It’s been a year since it happened, and I’m grateful I had the tools to work through it. I was able to:
- Avoid the temptation to get another tech job
- Learn new skills and overcome fears of failure
- Start a profitable business with a full slate of clients
- Continue with my plan to start a family, albeit differently
I’m angry about the compassionless layoff culture, but I’ve got A LOT to offer regarding navigating this moment. I’ve put it all into a pay-what-you-can offer:
How It Works:
- 2-Day Foundation Reset – Step back from the chaos. We meet remotely to cover six tools to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your potential. Plus, a tech detox and nature healing practices.
- 3 Months of Weekly Coaching – Structured sessions, plus two integration weeks to make the changes stick.
- Optional 1:1 Coaching Add-Ons – Everyone gets a private session, with additional support available.
- A Powerful Community – We heal in community. Laid-off workers across industries provide accountability, camaraderie, and money hacks. (You’ll leave with insurance tips and money hacks galore.)
What We’ll Cover:
- Taming the Feelings Dragon – Process the emotions (rage included) and shift out of fear and rejection. You’ll get my playbook for handling both.
- The Dream Den – Next, we dream—big. You’ll get inspired by where others are going and gain clarity on what you truly want and need next, based on your values.
- Consistent Action Mode – Consistency beats perfection everyday. You’ll build a 90-day action plan and get access to my best productivity tools and time management hacks.
- The Energetics of Success – It’s not about grinding. You’ll learn visioning techniques that pull what you want toward you—while you sit in the bathtub and relax. (Seriously, and you need to rest anyway!)
- Sustained Habit Change – We’ll close by covering what it takes to maintain the ways of being you’ll need to move ahead.
We start in April. Apply here or book an info session.
Let’s take our power back and turn this layoff era into a moment to reshape our lives and our country in the vision we want.
