What really happens to a marriage when a job disappears?

In this episode of The Interim Era, we flip the mic and invite our wives into the conversation to talk honestly about what it’s like living with someone navigating job loss, burnout, identity shifts, and an unpredictable job market.

This isn’t career advice from a guru. It’s the unfiltered truth from the people who carried the emotional weight when the paychecks stopped.

We talk about:

• What layoffs actually do to families and marriages

• The emotional toll of long job searches

• Imposter syndrome, shame, and self-worth

• How support turns into exhaustion—and back again

• Why the “interim era” affects everyone, not just the person out of work

There’s humor, tough love, and moments that might hit a little too close to home.

If you’re unemployed, supporting someone who is, or quietly struggling through your own interim era, you’re not alone.
