Getting Laid Off Doesn't Have to be The End with Melissa & Mel - RUNNING IT BACK
About this episode
In this special crossover episode, The Mama's Den linked up with powerhouse sisters and moms, Mel Goolsby and Melissa Fredericks.
Ashley and Codie dug into how these two turned life's curveballs into purpose and profit. After being laid off WHILE on maternity leave in 2022, Mel built a thriving social media platform called "I'm Not A Lawyer, But" while Melissa stood beside her—both in sisterhood and entrepreneurship—as they launched their hit podcast, Gin & Juice.
At a time when so many have been navigating job loss and reinvention, this conversation reminds us that sometimes the end of one chapter is the spark for a new beginning.
Tune in for real talk, laughter, and the kind of inspiration every mama (and dreamer) needs. This episode was PART 2 of The Mama's Den x Gin & Juice mashup. Catch Part 1 on The Gin & Juice podcast feed.
