Episode 21: How to Reset After a Job Loss

What happens when your title is stripped away, your inbox goes quiet, and your Monday morning feels like a void? In this deeply personal episode of In Confidence, Lisa opens up about her own experience being fired as a startup CEO and what came next.

You’ll learn:

What happens in your brain and body after a professional loss

Ways to channel your strengths and maintain momentum
