Being let go—twice—was the best thing that ever happened to me.

If you have been let go, this post will help you to find a new identity and provide you with a tool to use this moment in time as a turning point.

Most people fear getting let go. It’s seen as a failure, a setback, a moment of deep uncertainty. I know because I felt it too. But not for long. Getting let go (twice!) was where I found my freedom fuel.

The first time I was let go, I was thrown into the unknown. Unexpected and with a very new, very large mortgage to pay, the shock, shame and panic kicked in.?

That day, I marched myself through the forest trails for 5 hours, processing. And the forest was where I found it - the fire in my belly. It was the catapult I needed to propel me into what was next. I was absolutely not going to let getting fired define me or knock me sideways.?

I took the opportunity to get certified as a life coach while I figured out plan B to pay the bills. I took a temporary role to reground myself before stepping into another full-time job.?

I thought I had found the perfect balance: security in my job while building my coaching dream on the side.?

Then it happened again.

The second time around, I harnessed a different emotion. Instead of scrambling to replace my job, I saw it as the door swinging wide open—an invitation to step fully into the life I truly wanted. This time, I was intentional. I spent time, resting, healing and finding peace with a new identity - entrepreneurship.?

Here’s what I realized through the process: our own perception, and our thoughts about who we are, are everything. We are valuable for who we are, not the title on our LinkedIn profile.

It’s not the number of hours we work that defines us, how long we stay in a role, or how many promotions we collect. What truly makes us valuable is how we show up—the way we lead, support, and bring value to our work and the team around us.

If you’re reading this and you’ve been let go, I want you to hear this: You are enough.

You can build a career that feels aligned with your authentic self. You can make an income in a way that energizes you instead of draining you. You can create a life that feels free, flexible and meaningful.

If this resonates with you, I want to give you a tool that helped me, and has since helped my clients, to process their own big emotions and ground in who they are and how they want to impact their family and community.

This is your Freedom Fuel.

Freedom from shame, expectation and anxiety and transitioning to a new level of emotional and physical freedom.

The tool is called the?Legacy Lens. It will guide you towards your unique definitions of worth and illuminate your vision of true freedom.?

The Legacy Lens isn’t about perfection—it’s about clarity. By identifying your legacy and your impact, you gain the insight of your true worth and value, outside of a job title. It will help you find a new identity that feels authentic, and energizing.?

I also encourage you to reach out. Whether it’s to me, to your friends, your family, or your community, don’t navigate this moment alone. You will be surprised at how many others have had this same experience. It's more common than you think. This next chapter has something special for you, it is the one that sets you free and breaks you out of the confines of the system.
