Ep #205: Michele Novack: Laid Off, Broke, and Burned Out—Then She Built Something Better

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:

What do you do when the life you built disappears overnight?

In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Michele Novack shares the moment her career—and identity—came to a full stop.

After 30 years in the same industry, and now in her 50s, Michelle received the call no one is prepared for. The kind that ends a career in minutes and quietly dismantles the story you’ve been telling yourself about your value, your security, and your future.

Michelle didn’t have a backup plan.

What she had was fear, grief, and a question she could no longer avoid: Who am I without this?

This conversation explores what happens when your identity collapses and certainty is stripped away. Michelle’s story is not the pushed-harder-and-now -I-am-back story. Rather it’s the brutal honesty about surrender, confronting subconscious patterns, and choosing self-trust when there are no guarantees.

This episode is for anyone who is asking themselves - what now?
