The Urgency Trap: Why You're Sabotaging Your Next Job After a Layoff | Episode 53

After a layoff, the instinct is to panic and immediately apply for new roles, but this is a critical mistake. Mamuna and Lola discuss why the "post layoff pause" is non-negotiable for success and how to stop carrying old stress into your next interview.

💡 We cover:

The UrgencyTrap and why panic sabotages your job search.
How unprocessed grief makes you fail job interviews.
Overcoming the emotional struggle of feeling "unworthy."
Why processing feelings is a process, not a timeline.
