I Got Laid Off, Now What?

A 6-Month Guided Journal for Recovery, Resilience, and Renewal

"You didn't lose your future. You just lost a job. There's a difference, and this journal will help you see it."

A layoff doesn't just disrupt your income. It shakes your identity, rattles your confidence, and leaves you standing at a crossroads you never asked to face. The silence after the news hits can be overwhelming. The uncertainty feels endless. The pressure to bounce back quickly makes everything harder.

This guided journal was created for that exact moment and every moment after it.

I Got Laid Off, Now What? is a six-month companion that walks you through the emotional, professional, and personal journey of job loss recovery. Equal parts therapy, strategy, and encouragement, it meets you wherever you are, whether you are in shock, processing your feelings, or ready to rebuild.

Inside, you will find daily and weekly prompts along with guided reflection questions designed to help you process emotions, rediscover purpose, and track your growth. You will also find resilience building exercises that provide practical tools to rebuild confidence, reframe your narrative, and move forward with strength.

The journal includes space for career clarity, helping you assess your values, strengths, and next steps on your own timeline. It also creates intentional moments to recognize and celebrate your progress as you move through recovery and renewal.

Rooted in growth mindset principles and written by a Human Resources Professional and certified transformational coach with over 22 years of experience supporting people through career transitions, this journal offers a compassionate and structured approach to moving forward.

You are not your job title. You are not your last paycheck. You are a person in progress, and your next chapter is still being written. This journal gives you the space to write it.

This book is a tribute to the strength of those facing unexpected career challenges, with a special focus on the resilience of Black women. It serves as a reminder that your worth is not tied to a paycheck and your strength remains unshaken.

Stop surviving the layoff and start designing your comeback, one day at a time.
