What if losing your job wasn't the end… but the beginning of something better?

In this episode of Happy Accidents, I sit down with Michelle Schafer, one of Ottawa's top career coaches, to talk about how being laid off not once but twice led her to reinvent herself, discover her true calling, and launch a thriving career coaching practice.

You'll learn:

• How to turn a layoff or restructuring into an opportunity for growth
• Why career transitions often open doors you didn't see before
• The mindset shift that transforms job loss into a career reinvention
• Practical advice for navigating uncertainty and finding your purpose
