Episode description
When a job ends suddenly, it’s more than a career change — it’s an emotional earthquake. Shock is often our body’s way of protecting us, buying us time to process what just happened. In this episode of Radio Headspace, Dora shares the story of someone navigating the first disorienting moments after a layoff, and explains how mindfulness can help you ground yourself when everything feels unreal. If you’re feeling frozen or numb right now, you’re not broken — you’re healing.
