Laid off, not lost.
I have been laid off three times. The first time I had no idea what to do first, and I made expensive mistakes in the first 48 hours. The third time, I stopped trying to hold it all in my head and built a system instead.
This is that system.
What's inside
The Job Search Tracker — a nine-tab workbook that does the arithmetic for you. Your runway and the exact date it ends. Your pipeline, your conversion rates, and where your interviews actually come from. Every follow-up that's gone overdue. Two offers scored side by side on fit, not just salary. Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.
Nine Printable Checklists — the first 48 hours, the first week, the severance review, money and runway, the first 30 days, the LinkedIn and résumé refresh, the Friday reset, interview prep, and evaluating an offer. Print them. Check the boxes. Stop carrying it in your head.
"Laid Off, Not Lost" — the guide — thirteen pages, ten chapters on the parts nobody says out loud:
All five severance levers you can negotiate — amount, bonus, unvested stock, PTO payout, and medical coverage — and the exact words to ask with
How to tell the story without apologizing for it
How to find a woman inside every company you're targeting, and what to ask her
How to make the search a real full-time job — ten applications a day, including the ones you're not sure you fit
How to use AI as your search assistant so ten a day is actually sustainable
The salary question, the offer, and why week three is the hardest
Plus nine copy-paste scripts: the severance ask, the message that gets replies, following up on silence, thank-you notes, declining an offer, and telling your network you landed.
Who it's for
Women at any career stage, in any industry, who just got the news — or who can feel it coming. It's also the thing to send someone when "let me know if you need anything" isn't enough.
What you get
An instant digital download: one file containing the Excel tracker, two PDFs, and a start-here guide. Yours to keep, for personal use.
Please note
This is practical guidance from lived experience — not legal, tax, or financial advice. Rules on unemployment, severance, and benefits vary by state, country, and employer. Confirm the details in your own paperwork, and for anything with a signature line, an hour with an employment attorney is money well spent.
