Unemployment and the art of finding Community

Belonging to a community, engaging with others, and creating relationships are all necessary for our human well-being. One of the hardest shifts in getting laid off is the instant loss of community. That’s where creativity comes in. You can find community all around you, even when you are unemployed. Perhaps ESPECIALLY when you are in Transition. The magic of connection is all around- You just have to look for it! I’m sharing this with the intention of helping and inspiring others that are temporarily unemployed.

Unemployment and the Art of Intentional Distraction

The concept of “Intentional distraction” was recently introduced to me and has been a game-changer for my mental health stability in my current career transition period. I’m sharing this with the intention of helping and inspiring others that are temporarily unemployed. My career coach advised me to focus on taking breaks to do things that: appeal to my senses, give me a sense of completion, are not related to my job search, and put me in a grounded state.

Jungle Gym Career Karma

I like the way Sheryl Sandberg put it in her well-known book, "Lean In", comparing career paths to jungle gyms, rather than ladders. It's not about who you step on or climb over to get to the top, in fact, there really is no top because you can lose your job or have life events that change your status instantly.
