What if that fog you’re feeling after losing your job... isn’t failure, but grief?

In this tender and powerful episode of Your Next Success, Dr. Caroline Sangal pulls back the curtain on the emotional aftermath of a layoff—the identity unraveling, the shame, the numbness—and why trying to “stay positive” too soon can actually keep you stuck.

You’ll discover:

• The 5 hidden losses that silently weigh on you after a layoff
• How the 5 stages of grief show up in your career journey (yes, even denial and bargaining)
• Why skipping grief doesn’t save time—it steals your clarity
• A powerful exercise to begin reclaiming your voice, values, and vision
