Same here keep pushing

When I hear the feedback to simplify your resume I feel someone worked so hard on their skills/experience its defeating having to do that. As a taxpayer you earned having to collect government assistance to assist temporarily..your focus is not being on the "system permanently"

This is definitely relatable! These companies have no soul and don't care! Trying to find another multiple stream of income is key, so you don't have to rely on one job! Hopefully, with your husband it offered some emotional n financial support! Keep going! ❤

Great video, thank you for being so vulnerable with your experience.

Good point!

Thank you for this behind the scenes look on the lighting process! I must applaud the zoom in affect. Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed her speech as well and she has a large following.

No it aint lmfao

I thought her speech was absolutely beautiful ❤️

She was to attract a different demographic. She has over 20 million followers. It seems to be an effort to expand his base. I think it was a great idea.

I can relate! Same thing happened to me in 2022. I’m a substitute teacher now the pay is nothing… I was making 6figures. 😢

I feel your pain... keep your head up

Very nice style in your living space...

I no longer sign up for medical or any deductions until I'm in the position for a year. It's all about profits now a days. Corporate is a heartless culture to join.

Great transparency in the episode ❤❤❤ you got this

My contract is about to end in Aug end and I'm worried. And I'm single so everything falls on me

I was on ebt for 3 years between 2009 and 2012. I applied to the Post Office in 2012, got hired in 2013 and haven't looked back. It's a tough job when you start out but becomes easier in time. I earn enough money to live the life I want with job security and a full pension when I'm ready to retire.

18:36 Amen 🙏🏽 Absolutely. We serve an AWESOME God who is Jehovah Jireh! A faithful provider.

13:20 Yep! Absolutely! Too much CONTROL over your life and your livelihood. Thanks for sharing your story. You are NOT alone. I e been there so I understand. It’s those who haven’t that don’t. I pray God blesses you and your family. Keep your head up. You got this.

Hey Shaunie. New subscriber. I'm so glad that stumbled up on your video. ❤ Listen, enjoy the journey baby. You are going far w/this podcast girl. I can see you there already!! 😊 You definitely have what takes. I promise. ❤

I was faced on a similar situation. I had to humble myself and ask God what it is it that Ne wants me to do. I also fasted and prayed. The career thatGod wants me to do is nothing that I would have ever thought would be for me. Also, keep a journal.

Thank you so much for sharing, New subbie here. Where can we tune in to the podcast, you didn't give the information, Thanks

You are an inspirational person. All these challenges and you still here, you have a rich story. Much respect to you, and I will support you .

What unexpected lesson did you learn from a major career setback or layoff?

Omfg yes

I knew I had limited time before I would age out...that is why I started my urban farm. I experienced a layoff after 17 years...I totally understand your thoughts.

I will keep you in prayer. You already got this sis.

That's the part that almost broke me. When blood relatives just looked at me AND turned their backs. AND held it against me that I wasn't showing up for them. still.

Curiously, is your husband not able to cover the main bills on his own? This sounds like you are the main bread winner or the story of a single person. Someone said you might have had some over spending. And no shade, this happens a lot. I am at the point (bc I have been thru job loss), to live far below your means and save. I also learned the hard way. And what you said about not being able to rely on people who you’ve helped before, is REAL. You are surprised by this when it happens. I was. Which is why I will make all provisions for myself going forward. I will still help others when I can, but I will never rely on anyone again. Only God you can rely on, and He can open doors for you at the appropriate place and time. You will flourish again- and I agree with you on taking your power back.

Dang this is nuts another black person had this same testimony and he says he’s betting it all on TH-cam. Glad I got trade as a backup just in case if a corporate layoff happens. Sorry dear you’ll bounce back.

Hubby? Does he help you?

Best of luck to you and your family. Spend time with God daily in prayer and ask him to order your steps. I guarantee he'll show you the way. 💛

Food stamps is legit 😂. I love food stamps ❤ I eat better on food stamps. Too bad the government don't give it freely. And the crowd goes wild "Food stamps food stamps food stamps" 😂

Thank you for sharing your story. Sis I feel you. Being a black woman in a white working corporate environment is not for the weak. The level of jealousy and pettiness made me sick and I will never see white women the same. The reason why so many of us black women chose the entrepreneurial route and are successful at it is because our skills and competencies were never the issues to being with. Also, it's way more fulfilling to work for yourself, even if it's harder, the peace of mind is just priceless. Sending all the love !

Starting a business is a lot harder than you think. A lot of people who have so-called businesses are really just scammers. Or they're frauds doing things like selling courses. They aren't running legit businesses. That is why they are broke after a few years because they were running a con game not a business. If you're running a legit business on a good foundation, it can take years to get off the ground. And you can go several years operating at a loss before you ever see profit. You can't just decide "oh I'm laid off with no income, let me just go ahead and start a business". You're better off getting a job, and getting an income. Downgrade your lifestyle. Live modestly, and grow a business a business.

A great rule of thumb is if you are married, live on one income and save the other spouses income. There are ways you probably over spent. But I’m glad you realize it now. It is hard to save but It is harder to live without savings. And I live by that. I wish you nothing but the best.

Great video! I’m rooting for you!!!

I got laid off at 58 and then realized I didn't want to work anymore anyway. I had a fat bank account, but was stressed out and miserable. I lived off savings until my pension kicked in a year later and haven't looked back. You know what I miss about working a corporate gig, nothing. I was going to work every day just to support a house full of stuff. I sold my house, got rid of 90% of my stuff and couldn't be happier. Don't attach your personal value and worth to a job title. This is just an obstacle to a better life. You'll be fine.

Your story doesn’t make sense. You said a high six figure income and no savings, had to rely on government assistance?

HAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ before those miami vacations ...i have been homeless and fired a few times 😢😢😢😢😢😢 i learned my lesson

Smh. Why are all these channels and videos advocating people to crate businesses? Yall don’t even barely know how to operate a business yourselves! 🤣🤣🤣 you had a whole side hustle and admitted you didn’t save. It’s cause you knew you didn’t want to rely on that sh*t. Oh well, not my life.

First off, you have a phenomenal voice. Second, what was your previous job? Third, I couldn’t agree more. Ownership is key: car, home, low overhead cost, etc…

Thank you for sharing your story. The same thing happened to me in March and I am struggling to find a new job. You've got this!

This is why you live below your means and stash that cash!

You still have to pay taxes on the house and the car every year

Here lmao

Depends on your skin but these products work for me: angels skin cleanse from Lush and regular degular almond oil at night, in the morning spray some tea tree oil and good to go
