A New Story for a Closed Door

Dr. Anitra Manning

In this soul-grounding episode, Dr. Anitra walks us through what happens after the layoff — when the door has closed, but the grief, confusion, and silence still remain. 


She shares her own story of being laid off while also comforting others through it, and how even as she held space for others, she was unraveling inside. With the help of sacred scripture — Hannah, the woman with the alabaster jar, and Mary of Bethany — Dr. Anitra reframes grief as an invitation to tell the truth, ask for what you need, and find safety in storytelling. 


This episode offers a grief-informed framework for rewriting your story with clarity, courage, and community.Whether you’re freshly laid off, quietly grieving something old, or supporting someone through vocational loss — this is your invitation to stop hiding, start healing, and speak your story into new light.
