You Are MORE Than Your Job: Navigating Work In 2025

“Job loss can shake your confidence. It can shake your sense of self.”

In this episode, Amber gets real about a hard truth many individuals are facing right now—mass layoffs (especially among Black women) and the identity-shaking ripple effects of job loss. Drawing from personal experience and current realities, she shares six resilient steps to help you rebuild your work, life, and sense of self—beyond your job title.

Amber walks us through practical strategies—from protecting your peace and securing your essentials, especially in building a long-haul mindset for uncertain times. Whether you’re navigating a recent layoff or simply want to be prepared in this shaky economy, this episode is a guide for you.

As Amber reminds us, “People are not what they do. You are not your last job title. You are who you are.”
