Experiencing job loss three times in as many years has been incredibly draining.

The repetition of reaching out to familiar contacts with the same narrative is no fun.

Despite the kindness and support, it felt like a perpetual cycle: "Here I am again, flooding your inbox, impacted by yet another round of layoffs.”

I needed a quick way to make new connections... So I did what all the cool kids are doing… I took to TikTok.

I started sharing my unemployment struggles hoping to connect with a few people in similar situations. What I found was both encouraging and disheartening.

There are A LOT of us out there… and we all have different challenges with our circumstance.

So, I shared a video with a message along the lines of "let's support each other in landing jobs," urging anyone interested to share their email for a Slack community. Since then, my inbox has been flooded with emails nonstop.

The community is a sacred, safe space for all if us in our search. We've got each other's backs through the tough stuff and love to celebrate each other's wins.

It’s pretty cool and everyone is welcome!

Stay tuned for what’s coming next…!!!
