Laid Off and Lost

I spent close to a decade inside the Department of Defense, serving across three administrations as the first Customer Experience Officer in DoD history. When it ended, I thought I'd land in three months. A year later, I was still searching, had just been diagnosed with ADHD at 44, and was trying to figure out who I was without the badge that had been doing the talking for me.

So I started a podcast. Twenty-six conversations later, I realized I wasn't the only one.

This book is built from those conversations. Pentagon executives. USAID workers. Military veterans. UX designers. A mom who went back to college at 50. A federal prison employee. A professional disc golfer. Different lives, the same three problems nobody warned any of us about.

Join the waitlist and you'll get:

• First access when the book drops, before it's available anywhere else

• A free preview of the prologue and the first chapter

• Updates on the release, including launch week pricing

If you've ever lost a job, a title, or a version of yourself and felt like nobody was being honest about what that actually feels like, this book was written for you. It's direct, practical, and built to give you something useful on every page.
