00:00:16.880 eating it in my cart it is not that double chin shows that what's up guys like i say on my channel

00:00:24.840 all the time modern women keep going to these high priced institutions to get some degree 1.00

00:00:29.760 that nobody cares about to get jobs that aren't going to make them any money these jobs are also

00:00:35.100 the first jobs out the door when layoffs come so if you've been following the news all sectors are

00:00:40.320 laying off people the tech sector corporate america and the federal government and of course modern

00:00:46.020 women have to go on social media and complain about it let's take a look i just got laid off 1.00

00:00:52.600 for my job and that is not gonna prevent me from me eating my breakfast eating it in my cart 0.97

00:00:58.780 it is not that double chin shows that it is not gonna prevent shit we are going through a merger

00:01:07.540 and or the company is we got bought out late last year and there have been layoffs going on since then 0.79

00:01:17.540 um even before then but yeah i was there for 14 years and my straight out of high school that was my

00:01:24.480 my first job out of high school i grew so much there professionally personally

00:01:30.300 um i was always so proud to say that like i had been through or gone through all the changes along with

00:01:37.820 the company and yeah i prepared myself for it though yesterday i it's like i was nesting or something

00:01:44.980 like i knew and you know there's like troubleshoot items or things that you have pending so i started

00:01:52.860 just you know getting rid of those and just kind of wrapping things up you know and i prepped my husband

00:01:59.360 for it last night and yeah i'm just thankful to have made so many connections there and we'll see

00:02:07.540 we'll see what the future holds but what makes me feel better as a mom is that i like summer's coming

00:02:14.460 i get to participate in all the field days without having to take time off i get to not be rushing my

00:02:20.340 kids in the mornings because that was the hardest part i'll work it's gonna be okay stay tuned

00:02:25.700 she's going through it hi my name is cassie um today marks exactly six months since i've been

00:02:32.300 laid off from my corporate job she got some bad botox you see this eyebrow cooked she probably can't 0.95

00:02:39.580 afford it anymore she got one side and i'd like to talk about it because feels like everybody is laid

00:02:45.600 off right now to date i've applied to over 350 jobs um and i've had five recruiters respond i don't

00:02:52.640 know what other sites to look for things too she's cooked now we got the young women getting laid off 1.00

00:02:57.880 so they went into the workforce thinking they could get by on their beauty and i'm sure that worked for

00:03:03.560 a little while until the boss was like she's hot but is she doing anything not at all on thursday 0.99

00:03:08.940 today's monday and i have a lot of thoughts so let's talk about it for reference i'm 28 years old

00:03:13.800 i've been working in corporate america for i don't know eight years i graduated college in 2018

00:03:17.500 and this is my second technically third time getting laid off if you include a furlough from

00:03:22.460 covet i was not expecting it at all it's pretty blindsided but i am super super thankful for this

00:03:28.680 layoff versus my last one and let me explain to you why the last time i got laid off i was 24 years

00:03:33.880 old and i had just purchased my condo so my first piece of property the only piece of property i own

00:03:39.580 i used most of my savings to purchase it it's truly my biggest that's not the smartest thing i mean

00:03:45.880 maybe i'm assuming she has student debt so accomplishment um and two months later i had

00:03:52.220 no employment there you go that's what i said i'm like i don't know if that's a good idea to use all

00:03:56.520 your savings to do that but women we like the like feeling cool right we really always want to feel 0.97

00:04:01.640 cool because we never leave high school we just that's why we want to date the cool guy that's why we

00:04:07.900 want to do the cool thing and we feel very cool if we can say we're a property owner and so therefore

00:04:12.680 we own property even when it makes no sense to and we have no skills to maintain it personally

00:04:17.460 i will not own property until i am married because i i just could not do you know what i've had the

00:04:24.280 money to own property right like but from my head i can't take care of it i can't fix my head

00:04:32.140 personally right i can't fix anything i can't like and i don't really want to learn it like there's

00:04:38.940 people that are into that stuff not me so or like the time it would take i'd rather just make a youtube

00:04:44.220 video and i could make more money doing that right that's i'm not saying this is the right way to

00:04:48.400 think it's just how i think and i've seen women like friends of mine that bought property but their 1.00

00:04:53.200 dads are always the one doing it and i'm like i don't my dad is such a saint he built me a studio at

00:05:00.380 home right that i could work who what a great father right and um because of that right i don't i don't

00:05:08.280 want to give him another problem right like i'm like you already did this for me that's enough

00:05:12.580 but you know women the thing is like metal buy a house and it's their house and women it's like 1.00

00:05:18.320 their house that their simps their boyfriends and their dads take care of yeah so i personally

00:05:23.060 no no i vowed to myself from that moment on i would never let myself feel so scared and so hopeless

00:05:29.880 ever again because i truly wasn't sure what i was going to do like i was like i think i'm going to

00:05:34.780 be on food stamps um and my parents just for a backstory like i had no assistance getting my

00:05:39.620 house my parents sent me dish towels as a thank you present like i 100 did this on my own so it

00:05:44.700 was 100 my responsibility to figure out what i'm going to do with that being said i then met my now

00:05:50.120 fiance a year and a half later and i live in his house and we rent out my property still so we do

00:05:55.460 make a little bit of rental income i also teach pilates and i own my own pilates grip socks business

00:06:00.700 and i have done pilates so she sells something on instagram okay see do you see like i'm so tired

00:06:08.500 i don't know what it is about young millennials and gen z but everyone says they have a business

00:06:12.620 and they don't actually have a business they sell things on their instagram like

00:06:16.360 i just want to call it what it is on this weekend what is called redistributing my calories now knowing

00:06:23.040 one of my sources of income will be diminished so i guess my biggest piece of advice here for

00:06:28.060 women because that's who i'm really talking to but truly anyone is do not put all of your eggs in 1.00

00:06:34.000 one basket i don't care if you have the best corporate job in the world i don't care if you

00:06:38.860 think you have the job security i used to tell people that this was the job i was retiring to

00:06:42.980 and i absolutely got blindsided by this but i do not have to worry about how i'm going to put food on

00:06:49.480 the table or what i'm going to do when i wake up tomorrow because i have two other sources of income

00:06:54.300 three if you count my rental three other sources of income but two other businesses teaching pilates

00:06:59.540 and owning my pilates company that i can now put more of my calories in and redistribute

00:07:04.880 while translation my fiance is helping me yeah i mean does she scream like does this scream 0.98

00:07:11.420 i'm very financially responsible it's convenient you got a fiance yeah looking for more full-time work

00:07:19.120 i am not saying quit your job and going all in on being an entrepreneur if that suits you great

00:07:23.620 but i love corporate america i've always loved the stability of it but do not put all of your eggs in

00:07:28.880 one basket i don't care if it's a hobby it ensures something you might kind of be interested in dive

00:07:33.780 into it explore it and figure out how to monetize it because truly you never know when you're going to

00:07:39.380 get a random meeting on your calendar that you're going to get laid off i'm not trying to fear monger 0.99

00:07:43.280 i'm just being realistic and it's really important just for your character development and as a person

00:07:48.580 to have like a multifaceted personality to be able to have hobbies that i've been able to monetize

00:07:53.880 and take as something outside of work i love teaching because i work from home and it gets me

00:07:58.140 out of the house but i also know i can kind of flow in and flow out of it as much as i want

00:08:02.560 depending on what i need in my life so like truly if you have not already like especially everybody but

00:08:09.280 really women like because that's who i'm talking to like find something you're minorly interested in 1.00

00:08:13.900 it does not have to be the fire that's lit under your ass it doesn't have to be your be all end 0.96

00:08:17.980 all passion project you don't have to be obsessed with it every day you're not going to be obsessed 0.98

00:08:20.580 with anything every single day but you need to find something that you can lean into and just figure

00:08:25.400 out additionally like how you could monetize that like what you sex work that's what most women are 1.00

00:08:30.200 going to pick see it's almost like we love the ups and downs in life so we're like smiling in our layoff

00:08:35.120 videos we just love it the ups the downs we we can't we can't help but enjoy the drama so i laid

00:08:45.240 off um i'm not really sure how to feel right now i guess i was naive and i never thought that this

00:08:53.740 would happen to me i see videos on tiktok all the time of people being laid off and i've always just

00:08:59.940 thought like oh that really sucks like what do you do when you get laid off see men would say how do

00:09:05.880 i prepare if that happens not all not all i mean i don't actually know what to do i think i have

00:09:12.020 cried all of my tears and now i can talk a little bit better this was an extreme shock to me and

00:09:19.080 everyone else on the team not what we expected at all and i like to see things as like glass half full

00:09:27.100 so i'm trying my best to look on like the bright side and that like god has a plan for me and and

00:09:33.720 like i know that and i trust that but this is also just a lot to process so i don't really have many

00:09:41.380 words and the words that i do have don't really make sense but it's no shocker that i have been

00:09:46.620 wanting to become an influencer always your backup plan and i hate saying that because that's what i did

00:09:52.680 but god has favorites i don't know what to tell you ladies it worked out for some of us

00:09:57.180 and i'm like maybe this yeah do i think i'll look i'm gonna look at her page at the end of this and

00:10:03.040 see if i think she actually has an okay look for a female influencer because she's the right level 1.00

00:10:08.300 of attractiveness slash girl next door um like she's not gonna be able to make money off of being 1.00

00:10:14.680 hot she's not hot enough but like the relatable girl next door she kind of has that look 1.00

00:10:19.920 this is the time because this is i think really she uh she might have a little too much she might 0.98

00:10:26.900 have lip filler relatable for a lot of people not bad it's very real life and so now i'm gonna you

00:10:34.200 know share my journey of what it's like to go through this process of being laid off finding a

00:10:39.460 new job i'm also moving so there's just a lot of things that are changing in my life very suddenly

00:10:47.240 um but i know that it's like for the better and everything happens for a reason and maybe this

00:10:53.660 is all meant to be for the sake of like my social media i don't know i'm just trying to look on the

00:10:59.120 right side because i genuinely love social media and it's let me look let me see well how is her content
