Losing a Job After 8 Years: Day One After a Tech Layoff

In this episode, I share what Day 1 looked like after losing a job I’d had for eight years — the stillness, the gratitude, and the quiet refusal to rush into fixing anything. Instead of hustling or hiding, I leaned into intuition and my spiritual tools, trusting that even this loss is nourishment for my dignity and aliveness.

Here’s what we get into:

1. Small rituals of comfort and gratitude that anchored me in my own energy on Day 1
2. My refusal to hustle or hide, and the promises I made to myself
3. How following intuition and the next right step led to unexpected openings within hours

In the Mystery is a series within the Delicious Dignity podcast where I share how I respond when I don’t have all the answers. It’s where I show how intuition and spiritual tools help me find my way forward — trusting that the unseen steps, the mystery itself, hold their own kind of perfection. This is the living part of a spiritual journey — the becoming, not the arrival. If you’ve ever wondered what trusting the process truly looks like, this is it!
