A few words
About Us
We created LAYOFF to offer the same compassion, support, and care we’ve experienced on our own journeys.
LAYOFF was born from our shared experiences of navigating career transitions. As a female-founded organization, we’ve each faced the uncertainty, self-doubt, and isolation that come with layoffs, career shifts, and personal reinvention. But we also deeply believe in the opportunities for growth that these difficult moments can offer. Most importantly, we believe you don’t have to go through it alone.
We’ve created a supportive environment where you can rediscover your strength, your values, and your sense of community. Our mission is to provide a space where meaningful connections are made, personal growth is nurtured, and career transitions become opportunities for empowerment and renewal.
Our weekly community connects offer a safe and empowering space where you can share your experiences and connect with others who understand your journey. Together, we move beyond the challenges of layoffs and turn them into opportunities for growth and renewal.
As Esther Perel so powerfully said:
“People have suffered from the day human beings have existed. There’s nothing new. But they always knew that the suffering needs to take place in the company of others. And these days we do too much suffering alone.”
As founders of LAYOFF, we are deeply committed to helping people find a sense of belonging, connection, and emotional well-being during times of transition. Beyond our work, we’re nature lovers who thrive on the joy of community and personal growth.
Whether it’s a good dance party, indulging in ice cream, or simply supporting each other through life’s ups and downs, our friendship has only grown stronger over the years.
Grounded in shared values and love for life, we’ve created LAYOFF to offer the same compassion, support, and care we’ve experienced on our own journeys.
