Job loss. Career breaks. Few topics carry quite so much emotional weight, or so much quiet stigma. In this honest and deeply human conversation, Phil Street is joined by Ben Purton, Jake Armiston and Alessandra Beqiraj to unpack what job loss can do to identity, confidence and belonging and why, despite how it feels in the moment, it is so often not an ending at all, but a redirection. Drawing on lived experience from all sides of the table, those going through redundancy, those supporting others through it, and those managing the process, this episode explores how we might remove shame, increase empathy, and reframe what comes next.
