Why Your Job Search Feels So Heavy
Exploring the emotional toll of job searching — because you're not just looking for a job, you're mourning an identity, a team, a future you thought you had.
Show Notes
Job searching is hard. But not just in the "sending resumes and doing interviews" way — it's emotionally heavy in ways we don't always acknowledge.
When you're in a job search, especially after a layoff or unexpected transition, you're not just looking for your next role. You're processing loss. You're mourning an identity, a team, a future you thought you had.
In this episode, I explore why job searches feel so heavy and how to navigate the grief that comes with career transitions. Because recognizing what you're actually going through is the first step to moving through it.
