New Podcast Episode: Navigating Career Transitions with Emotional Resilience

After years of working with executive women on their job search and career transitions, I've seen how being impacted by a layoff and/or managing a job search can take a serious emotional toll.

That's why I'm excited to share with you the latest episode of the BossmakeHer podcast, where we delve into a topic that many of us can relate to on a deep level – navigating the emotional fallout of a layoff or job search. You are not alone in this journey, and that's why we've brought in an incredible expert to guide us through these uncharted waters.

In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Melissa Lapides, a renowned trauma and psychological safety attachment expert, and the visionary behind the Safe Space Institute. Melissa sheds light on the profound impact that traumatic experiences, like a sudden layoff, can have on high-achieving women in leadership. She beautifully explains how attachment and authenticity intersect, and how often, our achievements are born out of spaces of trauma.

Melissa's work is transformative. She empowers women to connect with their true selves, helping them transition into careers that align with their authenticity and aspirations. From tackling the challenges of a competitive job market to finding balance between ambition and practicality, Melissa's insights are invaluable.

Here are a few thought-provoking quotes from our conversation:

• "So many times, achievement is born out of a space of trauma, of having to constantly get somewhere to the next place without any space to be… Oftentimes, in order to make those achievements, you have to actually repress a lot of your emotions to keep going and getting to the next level." (Melissa)
• "That's what they say is the definition of trauma. Dr. Gabor Mate talks about this: it's when we choose attachment over authenticity." (Melissa)
• "Teaching them to take those protector mechanisms off at a pace they're ready for, has been so beautiful. Watching them take this weight off and be able to come forth in their fullness, and really be seen, accepted and supported there, is one of the most beautiful things…because different environments require different levels of armor." (Melissa)

Melissa's wisdom and guidance offer a new perspective on emotional well-being and its crucial role in our professional lives. Join us in this enriching conversation as we explore the depths of resilience, authenticity, and the power of embracing our true selves.
