About this episode
Work can hurt. Maybe it's a layoff or firing, maybe it's a professional disappointment or a plan that doesn't work out. Our instincts and our culture tell us that we should get back to work – it's just a job after all – figuring out what's next. We know though, that there's a time to experience the feelings and learn from them. Nayla and Eric talk about their own work heartbreak, and offer some ideas of how to understand how the pain can teach us about what matters to us. They also talk about the importance of sitting in the feelings before moving on to next steps.
Note: If you are laid off and are ready to take action, in episode 6 we touched what we think you can prioritize. You can also read and hear more about Nayla's research on recovery from layoff on her website.
