This week, we’re throwing it back to an episode that feels as relevant today as it was when we released it in 2020: navigating a layoff.

Layoffs can happen for a million different reasons, and it’s important to know that company cuts and restructuring has nothing to do with you personally. Still, losing a job impacts your self-esteem, your bank account and your career goals, but our chat with Latesha Byrd is back to help you bounce forward if it happens to you.
