This short video shares the heart behind “From Laid Off to Lifted Up”, a free guide created during one of the most uncertain seasons of my life. Born from love, resilience, and the desire to help others find clarity and hope in their own transitions, this guide is more than a resource—it’s a reminder that even in endings, there’s space for new beginnings.
While this guide was inspired by my personal experience with a layoff, its purpose extends beyond that. It's crafted for anyone navigating a challenging season, be it in your career, personal life, or both.
This guide offers tools, journaling prompts, affirmations, and reflection exercises to help you reconnect with yourself, find strength in the pause, and move forward with faith and intention.
You are not alone, and every challenge holds the potential for growth and transformation.
From escaping war as a young girl to navigating job loss, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t just a trait; it’s a calling. This guide was created to help others find faith, purpose,
and peace through life’s transitions.
Thriving Through Layoffs was born out of a deeply personal experience, navigating an unexpected layoff after years of dedication and success in the professional world. I spent over 16 years growing within a mission-driven organization, where I built strong relationships and developed my skills in digital marketing and communications.
Seeking new growth and perspective, I transitioned into a different industry—an exciting step that brought fresh opportunities and new learning experiences. Although that chapter ended with a layoff, it also sparked a deeper sense of purpose and inspired me to create something meaningful from the journey.
This guide and platform are here to support anyone navigating transition, whether it’s job loss, burnout, or simply feeling stuck, with encouragement, structure, and faith.
Losing a job or facing any kind of life disruption can bring up a complex mix of emotions like sadness, fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty about what comes next. It's easy to feel like you're alone in these feelings, but you're not.
This section of the guide is here to help you name what you're experiencing and begin to process it with grace and compassion. Whether you're mourning a routine that once grounded you, questioning your next move, or navigating the sting of job rejections, know this: your emotions are valid.
But your job title, your productivity, or your current circumstances do not define your worth. Through journaling, reflection, and a bit of faith, you can begin to find peace, even in the middle of uncertainty.
Friends, I pray this guidebook helps shift your mindset during life’s challenging moments. No matter where you are in your journey, know that the best is yet to come. Growth often begins outside of our comfort zones. You’ve got this!
