About this episode
There are lots of resources for taking care of your career after you've been laid off, but there are far fewer resources for taking care of yourself after a layoff. Today, Jason and Nicole call up podcaster and emotional investigative journalist Yowei Shaw to talk about exactly this. Yowei talks about how surprised she was by how bad she felt when she was laid off and what she did to make herself start to feel better.
