Reboot 13 | RR3 - Burnout to Breakthrough: Ivy on Layoffs, Freelancing, and Finding Purpose

Send us a text

When Ivy got laid off from her dream job at Crate & Barrel, she thought she hit rock bottom—but what followed was a full-on identity reboot.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The slow burnout signs she didn’t recognize until it was too late
• What freelancing really looks like after a layoff
• Why TikTok > LinkedIn when it comes to side hustle inspiration
• The messy but powerful path to figuring out what you actually want
• Getting into health insurance sales (yep, it’s not what you think)
• Using SEO and storytelling to find clients—and confidence

We also talk about content creation fears, getting over perfectionism, and why now is the best time to just start creating content.
