Ep 135: How I Navigated Getting Laid Off During Massive Layoffs

Sarah Moody Episode 135

In 2001, I was laid off from my job at a tech startup during a wave of economic uncertainty. I was terrified, stressed, not sleeping, and relying on antidepressants to cope. This was before I discovered coaching—before I knew how to manage my thoughts or navigate fear with intention.

And yet, that painful moment became one of the best things that ever happened to me.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the 3 powerful lessons that helped me transform that experience—from self-doubt and survival mode to building a business I love, with the freedom to design my life on my terms.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Borrow belief from someone who sees your potential
  • Build a supportive cohort of peers and friends
  • Coach yourself daily to build unshakable inner trust

If you’re navigating a layoff, feeling anxious about the future job market, or questioning your next step, this episode will give you mindset tools to move forward with courage and clarity.
