In today’s episode, Bob ‘n Joyce welcome Steve Jaffe, author of The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery, for a powerful conversation about turning job loss into personal growth. Steve shares lessons from his 22-year journey through multiple layoffs—how his early struggles gave way to resilience and insight over time.

His book guides readers through the stages of grief that often follow a layoff and offers practical tools for navigating job searches and interviews with renewed confidence. Together, we explore how layoffs reveal the true values and culture of an organization—a theme we’ve revisited often (most recently in Episode 189, Letting Employees Go – Do It Right or Pay the Price).

Come on in. Grab a snack. Let’s talk about how to handle one of the toughest transitions in work and life—with honesty, compassion, and purpose.
