I always believe that things happen for a reason and all paths lead to somewhere great. I can relate a lot to everything you said, even the part where you mentioned that you’re much more coherent when you write. I get my words mixed up because my bilingual tongue likes to play sound twister.
Loved the podcast episode. Jackie really witnessed your experience beautifully and, I think, helped give voice to how difficult being laid off is...and three freakin' times. And the torture of having to wait for the actual news. I thing the podcast is really important. Thank you for taking the leap and trying it. Oh, yeah, the former boss comment got me too! Ugh.

A few thoughts…
Your story is so, so real, and you’ve just amplified your voice and your reach so others who can relate, can find you. And I think that’s so rad.
I’m proud of you for giving podcasting a shot! (Side note: I had all the same feelings about podcasts and now I co-host one!)
This part infuriated me 😂 “I speak too quickly but also not quickly enough (per some feedback from a former boss)”
