Career grief is the part of leaving a job nobody prepares you for. Who are you without the title, the company, or being the person everyone needs?
Whether you’ve been laid off, chosen to leave, or realized your career no longer fits, figuring out what comes next can shake your confidence and your sense of identity.
In this episode of Loud & Lifted, Betsy Hamm talks with career and leadership coach, former therapist, and author Kathy Caprino about breaking up with a company—and rebuilding your confidence afterward. Betsy also shares her experience questioning her relevance after years at Hershey and as CEO of Duck Donuts.
You’ll learn:
• How to identify what you’re actually grieving when a job ends
• How to recognize strengths you’ve been overlooking
• How to communicate your impact without feeling like you’re bragging
• Why a once-successful career can stop fitting your values and your life
• How to distinguish running toward an opportunity from running away from a job
