🎙 with Ashley Martin

What happens when you do everything right — and still find yourself laid off?

In this deeply personal episode of The Reboot Era, Ashley Martin, a seasoned content marketing and strategy leader, opens up about her fourth layoff in October 2024 and the nine-month job search that followed. From the shock of losing a role she loved to the financial and emotional toll of prolonged unemployment, Ashley shares her story with honesty, clarity, and resilience.

We talk about:

What it’s like to apply to jobs while on SNAP and visiting food banks
The invisible tax of being trans in today’s hiring landscape
The grief that comes from losing more than a paycheck — and the power of showing up anyway
How she’s grounded herself with gratitude, self-compassion, and boundaries

If you’ve ever felt unseen, stuck, or discouraged in your job search — this episode is for you.
