Hi there.
If you’ve been laid off, you already know — the hardest part isn’t the resume. It’s waking up the next morning with nowhere to be and no idea what to do with the day.
I know that feeling. I’ve lived it three times.
I spent 15 years building a career in startups, media, and telecom. Director of Corporate Strategy. Director of Product Management, leading a team of 24 with an $800M product portfolio. By every measure, I had figured out how to move up. And then, three separate times, it was gone.
Each layoff was different. Each one was hard. And each time, the thing that got me through wasn’t a better resume or a stronger LinkedIn profile. It was building a routine that gave my day structure when everything else felt uncertain.
I’ve finished two full-distance Ironmans. I know what a sustainable daily system looks like, and I know what happens when you don’t have one. So I built a routine around my search — and I landed faster and better each time. That’s why I started Laid Off Launchpad. To help people like you.
