Less than two months ago, I had a gut feeling that something was off in my life when I made this post. Although I didn’t know why I felt uneasy, I pushed on and tried not to worry unnecessarily. But today, after 23 years with my employer, I found out why I had been feeling that way – I am being laid off.
The timing couldn’t be worse. My son is applying to the top universities in the nation for Aerospace Engineering, and I have surgery scheduled. As the breadwinner, losing my job is devastating, and I have a lot of things to figure out. I don’t know what my future holds or what path to follow – should I continue to search for work in Corporate America or pursue my passion for voiceover and acting?
Making this decision won’t be easy, but I need time to gather myself and figure out how to take care of my family going forward. Although my voiceover career is in its growth phase, it won’t replace my salary. Effective April 10, 2023, I’ll need to be strong for my family and find a way to support them.
Now, more than ever, they’ll need me.
