In this April 2025 "cocoon episode" of the Career Flipper podcast, host Jenny, gets real about her own story of jumping back into the corporate world after being laid off. She chats about how she juggles her day job with her creative side gigs and why giving yourself a second chance is so important. Jenny shares those little moments of joy she finds in her weekend projects and opens up about why she decided to add ads to the podcast to help with expenses. Her story is all about change, bouncing back, and figuring out how to handle career twists and turns. Jenny's here to remind us all to embrace our own paths and the magic of fresh starts.
