S2E2: Use Time to Sensemake Your Career Heartbreak

When FGPs meet a career heartbreak - be it a layoff, a forced resignation, workplace bullying, a non-promotion, a demotion, or the loss of a mentor/sponsor, the spiritual injury is PROFOUND.

These events occur in our dreamscapes:

🌻Working hard, hard, hard to "be someone" in the American Dream

🌻A place where we've knit Respect, Status, and Money to volumnous Hard Work

🌻Perceiving helpfulness and being a team player as behaviors teathered to leadership & executive presence

🌻 And thinking about the collective with our naive understanding of workplace politics

When you go through these events, they forge you, like iron. Truths about being used or exploited can become clear. Disposability stings.

But I will place my bet that the people who focus on what was this experience for - the "for what" vs. "why did this happen" are 1 step closer to their true purpose.

I do believe that there is a reason why millions of FGCs and FGPs are in school or the workforce. I believe it's linked to th Age of Aquarius and the fact that many of our social systems are distressed.

For those that have navigated workplace shenanigans - you have been forged. It's ok to take time to feel the hard emotions and the injustice.

My biggest hope is that you find your real purpose, the liberated version of you. The one who will be the menace with a cause.
