Brenda here. #HappyHolidays to each of you from all of us here at #TheLayoffLady. I wish you a season full of whatever lights you up, whether its big family gatherings, small get-togethers, or alone time full of much-needed self care. #selfcare #takecareofyou #keeponkeepingon
Brenda here. I decided I needed new “book writing” shoes—because of course I did. #book #author #thelayofflady #careerresilience
Brenda here. I’m taking time this weekend to rest and recover. Make sure you take time for you, too. #selfcare #thelayofflady
Brenda here. This is a good reminder that the options in life don’t have to be win or lose. I like win or learn much better. #learnallthethings #nelsonmandela #thelayofflady
Brenda here. I’m working on my second book, which focuses on career planning & career resilience. This one is also predominantly fueled by coffee. Thanks, @zencoffeeco.bsky.social! ☕️ #bookwriting #careerresilience #careerplanning #opportunityreadiness #thelayofflady
Today, I leaned my head on my hand while reading. Somehow, I got my ring stuck inside my hoop earring. Fortunately, I was able to extract my wedding band from said earring without fanfare or bloodshed. Now, I’m deciding how to showcase this marketable skill on my #LinkedIn profile. #thelayofflady
Brenda here. When you are going through a job search, you will experience more rejection all at once than at any other time in your life. Here's how to cope. #thelayofflady #keeponkeepingon #jobsearch

Brenda here. Zippy is gearing up for more book writing! She knows the value of being in peak physical condition for her role as my writing assistant (aka sleeping in my lap). Zippy has this whole “career resilience” thing figured out. #catsofbluesky #thelayofflady #writeallthethings
Brenda here. Layoffs happen all the time. If you were part of a RIF, or otherwise found yourself unemployed, read The Layoff Lady's Ultimate Guide to Answering the Question, "I just got laid off--now what do I do?" buff.ly/3CZLD89
