Oh my word, if anyone can do this, YOU can! I lost a job 5 years ago and it SUCKED. I got a severance and it allowed me a little time to process. Healing took way longer than I would have imagined especially given that I didn’t like the job to begin with. Pride is a tough nut to crack. I’m excited to see what your life looks like 1 year from now! Be kind to yourself and grow like crazy!
As you know, when I was fired over four years ago it stung. It still stings. But it taught me a LOT. And I know that you got this. You are a strong independent woman… whether you split the finances 50-50 or not. Also, you’re kinda amazing. ❤️
BTDT too, in 2011. Started my own firm and never looked back. Started a second firm last fall with a partner, and hired my first associate in July. Slowly but surely, I’m whittling my work down to just the stuff * I * want to do, that feeds my soul and my bank account. It is possible, and if anyone can do it, it’s you. You are one of the most talented women I know. MUAH!
What a great picture of you. I’m excited for this next chapter. You’re such a fantastic writer, I’m confident this newsletter will be amazing. I’m definitely here for the goats, tomatoes, and zucchini and I hope some goat cheese, too.
I'd offer something trite about how necessity is the mother of..., but I didn't even know what a substack was until I read your post!
If I run across an opportunity for a strong-yet-humble-enough-to-be-real lady to share her wisdom and moxie, it'll be my pleasure to connect you. Life's an adventure, right?

Let's see what I will learn! Right now, it's hopefully consistency and sticktoitiveness.

You got this.
Awwww. Love you, Lia. Thank you thank you thank you. XOXOXO
Been there, done that and just recovering after almost 3 years of being in the wilderness. Breathe. Call me:)
Awwww, thanks Tina. It happens to everyone at some point, right?
Excited to see what you write here Kelly! It's raw, real and I think a lot of people will feel this is true as it's happened to them in some way.
I think that's the thing, right? We've all been here and we don't talk about it a lot. BUT hopefully it makes other people feel less alone.
