E129 Laid Off, Fired, and Free; Turning a Career Setback into Your Next Chapter

Getting laid off isn't the end of your story, it might just be the moment it finally starts to make sense. In this episode of Rabbit, Rabbit, Kristine and Danielle (one of the other co-founders of OOO-Marketing) open up about the day 200 people (including themselves) were let go from the jobs that had defined so much of their lives, jobs they'd built their identities around, and how that gut-punch became the catalyst for everything that came next. Their story, featured in the new book, and instant bestseller, All The Cool Girls Get Fired, is proof that even the hardest endings can spark entirely new beginnings. From grief to gratitude, panic to possibility, they unpack the emotional rollercoaster of losing your job, the lessons they didn't see coming, and the life they built because of it, not in spite of it. You'll hear: What really happens in those first 72 hours after a layoff The five biggest mistakes people make after losing a job (and what to do instead) Why identity shouldn't be tied to your job title How to rebuild a career that fits your life, not the other way around The power of community (and why reinvention is a team sport) If you've ever been laid off, or felt stuck in a job that stopped lighting you up, this one's for you. Because sometimes, losing your job is how you finally find your purpose. 🎧 Listen now, and don't miss the book All The Cool Girls Get Fired, where the origin story of OOO-Marketing appears alongside powerful job loss stories from Oprah, Katie Couric, Lisa Kudrow and more, proving that sometimes, the layoff is the launchpad.
