Free 7-Day Starter Challenge for Busy Professionals
15-Minutes a Day Takes
You From Job Loss Anxiety

Featured on:
I have felt all of this, and that's why I'm here.
You're smart. You're successful. You're great at what you do.
You tell yourself you are too valuable to have anything to worry about, but there are layoff rumors and headlines. Most professionals are drowning in deadlines all while quietly wondering if they've done enough to protect their careers.
You're too busy to spend hours networking, yet you know relying on luck isn't a strategy.
I kept seeing the lost look on the faces of mentees after a layoff.
The high cost of waiting.

From Layoff to Leadership: Building Confidence Through Connection
Jacqueline Widdis
For years, I’ve watched professionals lose more than a job in a layoff. They lost confidence, community, and sometimes even their sense of worth.
I know that feeling personally.
After nearly two decades as a stay-at-home mom and military spouse, I reentered the workforce, worked my way into tech, and eventually landed at Microsoft as a Product Manager.
From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, I wrestled with imposter syndrome, burnout, and the constant fear of layoffs.
When that fear became reality, I discovered the one thing that carried me through every stage of my career: my network.
Real relationships. People saw me, supported me, and believed in me. They helped me rise again with courage and clarity.
I believe:
Everyone has a story that matters.
Confidence is built through small, consistent steps.
Real relationships change everything.
“Real relationships change everything. They turn setbacks into comebacks.”
— Jacqueline Widdis
