Losing a Job After 8 Years: Day One After a Tech Layoff

In this episode, I share what Day 1 looked like after losing a job I’d had for eight years — the stillness, the gratitude, and the quiet refusal to rush into fixing anything. Instead of hustling or hiding, I leaned into intuition and my spiritual tools, trusting that even this loss is nourishment for my dignity and aliveness. 

Here’s what we get into: 

1. Small rituals of comfort and gratitude that anchored me in my own energy on Day 1 
2. My refusal to hustle or hide, and the promises I made to myself
3. How following intuition and the next right step led to unexpected openings within hours 

In the Mystery is a series within the Delicious Dignity podcast where I share how I respond when I don’t have all the answers. It’s where I show how intuition and spiritual tools help me find my way forward — trusting that the unseen steps, the mystery itself, hold their own kind of perfection. This is the living part of a spiritual journey — the becoming, not the arrival. If you’ve ever wondered what trusting the process truly looks like, this is it!

Welcome to the Delicious Dignity Podcast. Let's settle in securely and ever so nicely into the brilliance of our own dignity.

SPEAKER_02 0:19

In the mystery is a series within this Delicious Dignity podcast where an external event happens to me that throws me off my best laid plans, and I'm sharing with you how I get from point A to point B, how I move through this external event that sort of shakes me up a bit, and how do I go through things that I don't know yet, but I eventually will know? How do I go through the process, the progress, the mystery, and the messy middle, as Brene Brown would say? She says the middle is messy, but it's also where the magic happens. And so how do I go through that messy middle between an event occurring and a so-called or eventual resolution of that event? In order to figure this out, I'm using my intuition, my spiritual tools, and everything I have at my disposal to get me there. Because when we talk about the mystery, we're talking about a time when we're more intuitive than logical, where we're more creaturely and wild than polished and perfect. Because there is no well-laid out plan. There is no flow chart. There is no map for you to follow. The series is also inspired by my clients who, you know, especially when they misunderstand what a psychic reading is or what an intuitive conversation is, they always think it's about predicting. They always think it's about predicting the end outcome. When will I blank? When will I find my soulmate? When will I get this money? When will my business succeed? And I've told them, as I'm telling myself and as I'm telling you, that it's never about the full journey. The full journey is never shown to you like a well-laid out map. It's always about the next step. That's where your genius is. That's where the magic happens. That's where you're polished into this diamond because you get to test your mettle against what's happening in every moment. And depending upon the philosophy that you come from, this is also a time that's called the dark night of the soul or the liminal space, this transitional space, this threshold space.

It's an in-between place, a place between point A and point B. And so, yeah, that's what In the Mystery is all about. I hope you get to see the process, and even if you don't relate to the actual event, the process and the energy is what you can take away no matter what you're going through. And without further ado, let's get to the show. Hello, lovelies.

SPEAKER_02 3:05

This is a little life update as part of the In the Mystery series. And this external event that happened was that yesterday on October 7th, I got an email saying that I have lost my job that I've had for eight years. Now, this is the corporate job that I have. So I have my own business and this podcast and everything else, and that's separate. But I also have had a full-time corporate job for the last eight years, so almost a decade. So I woke up in the morning, I went to the bathroom, and I was sitting on the toilet and checking my emails, as one does, and that's when I saw the email. And my first response was this really odd sense of calm, almost like a peaceful understanding or acceptance of the situation. And that surprised me. And it's really funny because this is the second time in 10 months that I have lost a form of income. So at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I was fired from sort of like a part-time consulting gig. And that whole situation is covered in episode four and five. And when I was fired from that position, I felt immediate relief because it was just not something that was for me. And out of that sense of relief, I just knew good things were coming, and that's how this podcast was born. So similar to that, but completely different, this is a job that I really loved the people. I loved the work that I was doing. And I didn't feel relief this time, but I felt acceptance. And going back to a point that I've made in multiple episodes, this is how you know that you have matured in your spiritual work and that you've gone through multiple layers of enlightenment. Enlightenment doesn't mean that you're not going to have problems. It means that the way you respond to them is very different. So instead of feeling anger or frustration or shock, I just felt this deep acceptance. And just to help you understand why that was such an interesting reaction to this notice that I got, this is my primary income. This also has my health care tied to it. It also has my investments tied to it. It's my security blanket. When my business, let's say, is not making the amount of money that I want, and I can just rely on my job. It was my security blanket. I'm a single woman with a dog. It's not like I have anybody else to fall back on. And I had this emotional attachment with my manager, my team, and my broader team. And just I had a comfort with the work I was doing. I was comfortable. For that to be ripped out from underneath me, it should have been a reaction that was not acceptance, that was not calm. But it was. And I've been without steady income before for about a year and a half. But when that happened, it was my choice. It wasn't somebody else's choice. So this will be the first time in a long time that I have not had steady income. So yeah, that was the first thing I noticed when I got this email notification. And about two or three weeks before this email came, I kept feeling this sense that I wanted to do my year-end rituals that I always do to complete the year and start the new year fresh. And I was feeling this energy at the end of September. And I kept wondering, I was like, why does it feel like the new year is already going to be beginning for me? I felt like something was in the air. I just thought that the way my mind rationalized it, so my intuition was saying, oh, something's coming, something's in the air. There's a new life beginning. But the way my mind rationalized it was, oh, maybe the new year is coming early for me, and maybe it's just time for me to do my rituals now. I just sort of brushed it aside. And for about a year or more, I've been telling so many people that I feel like I'm going to get let go. I feel like I'm going to get let go. So I felt on some level something was happening, but I didn't really take my own intuition seriously in a way. It was kind of like I wanted to believe what I wanted to believe. So that was the first insight that I had from this whole experience. And you know, a side note, for a long time, when I was a baby intuitive, you know, when I was just starting to learn about intuition, for a long time I would wonder whether I was manifesting things, or that I just have this sort of mini power of prophecy, and I just knew things were coming, or I could feel it in the air, I could feel the sensation of what was coming, and that's what I was noticing. I didn't know whether it was my fear or whether it was my intuition. I didn't know whether it was anxiety or whether it was intuition. That's a whole episode in of itself. But the insight I got this time was the way I knew that now in hindsight that this was not my fear, but it was rather my intuition, is that when I was thinking, oh, I can feel like I'm about to let go, I would just joke. I would be like, oh my God, they're gonna fire me or something. I would joke about it. It was peaceful. It didn't make me anxious when I was saying these things or just thinking about them. Whereas when it's a fear or it's an anxious thought, there is that emotional charge to it that says, oh, this is not intuition. There's like an emotional charge. So that's how I know now looking back. I was just very calm and very matter-of-fact about the fact that I first of all I felt like I was going to get, I would keep saying fired, or I was like, oh my God, I might just lose my job someday. And the second time that intuition struck was two weeks before I got the email where I sensed that, oh, there's a brand new journey that I have to begin now, even though it's only September, and I usually do these rituals in December. That's a side note, in case you're wondering whether is it intuition, is it my fear, is it intuition, is it my anxiety? That's one way to tell. And again, I'll do a whole episode on this with more ways, but that was the insight I got just sitting on the toilet with this email in my hand, reading the email. Okay. The first things I want to tell you is that what I did when I got this email and how I set up my day so that I wasn't in the drama or the panic of it all, but I was in my own energy and in my own feeling intuitive energy. And I want to go through those things because I feel like that will inspire you when you go through something similar, and not necessarily with a job, maybe it's an ending of a relationship, maybe it's the ending of a career or a business or the ending of staying in a particular place and you're moving to another place. There are all kinds of ways and life events that also relate to this, but I'm going to talk to it from the lens of losing a job I've had for eight years. So the first thing I did when I got this email and I got up off the toilet, I told my close friend and no one else. So I only told one person and I texted her and I sent her the email and I started brushing my teeth. And while I was brushing my teeth, she called me and we talked through it. And I even told her, I said, I just feel calm. And this is someone who has also been through the same experience of being let go unexpectedly. So I knew she would understand. So that's very important. I didn't tell the whole world immediately. I just told this one person. That was my only thing that my intuition wanted to do. It just wanted to tell her. Instinctively, I just sort of knew that this is not a time to tell everybody about what was happening, that I wasn't in the right frame of mind, and I also didn't feel like this was something I needed to share. The second thing I did was I noticed all kinds of thoughts show up after I talked to my friend, and I just sat down and I was investigating to try to see if there is any fear here that I need to address because I don't want that to influence my decisions. I don't want it to influence my day. And I started noticing while I was digging up in there in my own psyche, I started noticing these thoughts show up. Where am I gonna live? Do I continue to live where I'm currently at? I mean, it's an expensive place to be. Should I change cities? What will I do? Should I get a job? Should I not get another job and just focus on my business? How will I look after my dog? Somehow that thought entered my mind. And I'm watching these thoughts enter. And I just decide that before I do anything else, before I even sit down and look at my finances or anything like that, the first thing I need to do is sit down and do my energy release work and my emotional work. Because I realized that even if these thoughts are not that loud and I still have a deep sense of calm and peace, even if these thoughts are not so loud, I still need to reckon with them before I went about doing what I needed to do. And I think this is so important because it relates back to episode four and five where I talked about I'm so done with hustle culture. I'm so done with moving fast. Situations happen, react, react, react. It's all about reacting in the moment, not even giving yourself the time to sort of process and sit with things. I even remember my friend saying towards the end of my call with her, she said, just take the day to just let it sink in. And I was like, Yeah, I just need to be with my own emotions and release them, not just investigate them, but actually release them. So I did my emotional work. I sat with it, did my process of energy release, and I just felt so much lighter. And that's when this weird energy that I did not expect sort of came in. It was like I cleared the path of all this rubble and all these obstacles in this path, and now something else was allowed to come in. And that energy that I didn't expect to feel was one of God levels of gratitude. The kind of gratitude that I thought my heart was going to explode. I thought my chest was going to rip open. It was the weirdest feeling I have felt. I didn't expect that feeling either. But this is again the case for doing this release work. We just have so many things that block the things that we actually want to feel, that sort of get in the way of the things that we want to actually do with our lives. And that energy came in, and I was like, oh yeah, I really like this. And so I started feeling very juicy, very delicious dignity, if you will. And I put on my red dress. It's one of my favorite dresses, but for some reason I hadn't worn it in ages. And I put on that red dress and I just took myself to one of my favorite coffee shops here. And I took my dog with me. And I sat there and at the coffee shop drinking my favorite latte, I started to write down promises that I wanted to make to myself during this period. And I think the impetus for why I wanted to write that down was because I didn't want to forget how awesome I felt, how amazingly awesome I felt. Talk about being lit up from the inside out. I was feeling so good. And I wanted to make promises to myself, sort of guidelines for my behavior from this beautiful feeling place. And one of the things I wrote down, actually, two things I wrote down that I want to share with you is I just wanted to feel grateful. I just wanted to keep feeling grateful because I could find so many reasons to feel grateful and appreciative for how I was let go, the package I was getting, my manager and my team that I've had for eight years, how many people can even say that, that they've had a fantastic team for eight years. I just wanted to live in that place. So the promise I made for myself was I'm just going to be grateful. I'm going to do everything from gratitude. The second promise I made to myself is I'm not going to allow the lack of steady income to stunt and reduce my generosity and my kindness. I'm still going to give people the gifts I was going to give them for Christmas. I'm still going to give, I had a whole bunch of things I have planned to gift my parents when I go to India to visit them in November. I'm not going to not give that to people. I'm not going to not be generous because I've remembered times when I felt like I shouldn't be generous, even though I wanted to. So I sort of cut myself off from that flow of generosity. And it's me that felt like I was dying inside. So I just decided that absolutely not. And I decided I'm not going to show up like a beggar, begging people for jobs, panicking, and trying to figure out what my next move is. I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to come from a place of this is who I am. This is what I have to offer, take it or leave it. The thing that came out of this, these promises, is that all of a sudden I had this energy of creativity. And I realized that I want to do something with this event that happened. And that's how this series was born of in the process, in the mystery series. And that's how this episode was born. I realized that I wanted to share the process of things. And I don't want to share just the end result. So that's how this series was born. So I'm writing down these promises and I finish writing them down. And I finished just writing a quick outline for this episode. And then after I wrote the promises and I felt this creativity, the next sort of step that fell into my lap was I realized that I wanted to show this gratitude. I really wanted to show it. I didn't just want to feel it. I wanted to show my managers this gratitude. I wanted to show my team this gratitude. And I wanted to show pretty much everyone around me this gratitude. At the coffee shop, I was just saying extra thank yous to people, especially the woman who made my coffee so well and the manager of the coffee shop. And then when I decided I wanted to show everyone this gratitude, I thought of all my co-workers that I really enjoyed working with. And I'm like, oh, before I leave, I want to make sure that I train everybody. I make sure that everyone is supported and well off and has all the tools they need, all my secret little tips and tricks. I want to share that with everyone before I leave. And it's so interesting because about three or four weeks before this email came to me, I had a similar feeling where I felt like I had done very good work at a particular event and I wanted to share my process and my tools that I used for this event. And I was really fired up about that. And I was like, oh my God, I really need to tell my team what I did and how I did it so that they can benefit from it. And I remembered that while I was thinking about whom to show gratitude to. And I said, wow, my intuition was really, it was really there all along, telling me what I needed to do. I decided that I wanted to tell a bunch of my coworkers outside of my immediate team that I was leaving, that I had been let go. I was, oh, at this point, I should probably say, I don't know if I made it clear before, but in this particular role, I was let go as part of like a global company restructuring. So it's not because of performance or anything. It wasn't because I had issues with anyone or they had issues with me. It was just the layoffs are happening all over right now. And I was just one of them. So I really wanted to leave on a good note. I really wanted to give everything I had and then just leave. I sent out a bunch of emails trying to finish up what I needed to do. And I can't go into too many details about the package I received and everything, but suffice to say, I have a lot of time, a lot of paid work time that I'm getting in relation to my job and finding a new job. So I have a lot of time to clear up my work and find a new job within the company if I wanted to, but I wanted to take that time to also clear up and pass on all the knowledge that I got. And that came from this place of gratitude. And then I realized that, oh, you know, I had this small thought of my inner critic, shall we say? This little inner critic just popped in and said, What in the world is wrong with you? What are you thinking about gratitude right now? Go look for a job. What are you thinking about sharing all your precious knowledge with everyone? And then my inner critic goes, Oh, are you in denial, Dilshad? Are you just avoiding your feelings? Why are you so happy about this? What is wrong with you? And my inner critic was like, Oh, what else did it say? Oh, I had my the termination formal call with HR in about five or six hours. But my inner critic was like, Why aren't you preparing for that call? Prepare all the questions you have to ask. Like, why are you being so silly talking about gratitude and saying thank you to everyone and sending out these emails telling them that we'll train them and stuff? And while I was watching this inner critic, I really felt the silliness and absolute unnecessariness of being worried about anything or of criticizing my own actions. I really felt that. I just felt how unnecessary it was for me to worry, and that instead it was more important for me to just feel good and make sure I let other people know that same feeling good energy. And so I contacted everyone I knew to finish up my obligations. I really wanted to leave feeling completed. And then I had this idea of doing this exercise that I found from this from Bella Lively, and she made up this exercise called, I think she calls it, 10 awesome potentials of something happening. Whatever happens to you, you think of 10 awesome potentials of why the thing that happened to you might actually be the best thing ever. So this is just letting your imagination go wild so you're not so stuck on the event that happened, but rather than thinking about how this event might actually be the best thing that ever happened to you. And I already had this feeling, this thing that's come in into my life is making space for something else to come in. This is, of course, a year of feeling good. I decided to use this exercise and see what I could come up with of 10 awesome potentials of me being let go. What are the potentials of that? What could possibly happen because I was let go? Or what could happen that is better or just as good as being let go? There are 10 things that I came up with. So the first thing was my investments might skyrocket and I might become a millionaire overnight. That could happen. Someone hears about the fact that I've been let go and they might just hand me a job like a Christmas present. That could happen. That has happened to me before, and it's happened to me in other areas, so I know that can happen. This podcast takes off and I have time to deal with sponsors now that I've been laid off and guests and producing better and better episodes because I was let go. That could happen. My business might take off and I might have so much more time now to do one-on-one sessions. Before I would do one-on-one sessions really early in the morning before I started my job, or really late in the evening before I started after I finished my job. Or most of the times I would spend my weekends doing one-on-one sessions. And now I have all this, I have so much more time to do one-on-one sessions. That could happen. I may take a few months off and just enjoy hiking with my dog at all times of the day instead of doing it in the morning or in the evening or reserving it for the weekends. That can happen. I meet, and this is now is where I start getting wild with it. I say, I meet my soulmate who is filthy rich, and he just goes, You don't need a job. And we'll just end up traveling the world in a private jet. And the only reason we have a private jet is so that my dog, who is a short-nosed breed and his breed is not allowed on planes, he can come with us. And that's why we have a private jet just for me and my dog. And that could happen. Someone just hands me $10 million. And as I wrote that down, a hummingbird flew by as I wrote that down. And they just hand me $10 million from a secret trust fund that I never knew existed. And now I don't need a job. That could happen. I get a new job, and the new job is so absolutely perfect for me. And I have an even more awesome team, and it lets me be creative and funny, and I'm teaching and I'm learning. So I just get a new job that's awesome. And then I'm challenging myself to go even wilder. And I say, Oh, I'm hiking and I randomly find a suitcase full of diamonds and gold bars, and I'm set for the rest of my life. And I can hand my friend who is opening a coffee shop. I can hand her some of the money that she needs to open her coffee shop and fun and be like an angel investor in her business because I was hiking after I was let go.

unknown 25:07

That can happen.

SPEAKER_02 25:08

I invent something that needs me to work on it full time and it pays off quadruple the investment that I put into it. I get paid to write articles and travel the world with my dog and review restaurants. And so that can happen. It's like permission to stretch your mind and not have it focus and obsess about the event, but rather the gifts of the event. And of course, none of these might happen, or all of these might happen, but it might not be probable, but it is possible. And it's a way for you to stretch your brain so that you don't focus on the negative, basically. And it puts you back into a field of excitement and gratitude. So feel free to use that exercise yourself if it aligns with you. After I wrote this list down, I was working on my regular job and I was just finishing up some things. And I had my call, my call with HR. And I was in this really big, grateful place. And the first thing I was asked was, do you know, do you have any questions? And I was like, actually, just let me please thank you. Let me just thank you for being such an awesome manager. Let me just thank you for how much fun I had on this team. Let me just thank you. And I have to say, if you're thinking that it's this is only because I had an amazing team and I had so much to be grateful for, and that's why I was able to thank people. That's not true because even in my, even in the position I had, it wasn't a position, even in the short time consulting gig that I had last year, I made sure to leave with gratitude. And I thanked everyone that I sincerely felt gratitude for before I left. So this isn't just something you do because the circumstances were what they were. In this case, yes, I had a lot to be grateful for. And so I was able to show that gratitude, but you can also have gratitude for something that, you know, wasn't exactly perfect. You could there's always something that was a gift to you that you can recognize and reflect that back to the person. In this case, it was my manager's manager. So I expressed that gratitude to him. And I only needed 10 minutes before the call to prepare my questions. I asked all my questions and we were done. And then I had another call with my direct manager. And again, the first thing I did was express gratitude because I was just so filled with it. And she offered to make some introductions, which seemed to yield some fruits. But before I even talked to her, from all the gratitude emails that I sent out before, offering people my knowledge share and all my tips and tricks and everything I know, offering to train them, this was less than maybe five hours after I got the notice that I've been let go less than five hours later. I just randomly got an email from someone saying, I'm sorry to hear that you've been let go and I really enjoyed working with you. And in case you're interested, here are some positions that I think you'd be a great fit for, and I'd really like to talk to you about them. And I was like, wow, I didn't even ask for this. I didn't even try to put it out there. I didn't even have a resume. There was nothing. They had just worked with me before and they just offered me these positions and not offered me, but like they they said that I'd be a good fit for them. They're happy to make introductions and they're happy to interview me. And even though the positions are not for me because they're sales related and I'm not interested in them, I know that information can now help some of my other team members who've been let go. And I can help other people with that information. So I was again filled with more gratitude for that. And after I talked to my manager, I treated myself to there's this sparkling water I really like. It's this mineral sparkling water. I only get it at one location in Sedona. So I went there and I got my sparkling water, and then I said, Oh, what will be fun for me to eat and treat myself? And I got myself Chipotle because that just sounded so good to eat. Chipotle is this chain restaurant for Mexican food or their version of Mexican food, you can say. I just set myself up and I treated myself so well. And I was just thinking to myself and giggling, I was like, in the past, I would have punished myself, I would have blamed myself, I would have been embarrassed. Yeah, I just would have been so ashamed. But I was doing the opposite of that. I was celebrating. Everything, every chance I got, I just celebrated. And then while I was eating my Chipotle, my parents called, and that's when I told them, I texted them a few hours before that, saying that, hey, just letting you know that I've been let go. And the only reason I told them was because I knew I wanted to record this episode, and I didn't want them to find out through my podcast that I've been let go. So I decided to tell them. Apart from these three people, it's still not told anybody really. So yeah, it was a beautiful day. And despite the shock of it all, it ended up being really productive and generative and beautiful and easy, just easeful. And with that in mind, I just wanted to tell you what I didn't do because that's so important. Because I think it really affected everything. I did not try to fix anything. I did not go into fix-it mode. I didn't try to find a solution. I caught myself trying to look for jobs on the company website. And I was like, no, I'm not going to do that. This is not the time for that. This is not the time to panic. This is not the time to look for other positions. I'm just going to take it easy. Because I really did not want to make looking for a job into another job. I did not want to do it that way. Because again, this is my year of feeling good. This is my year of ease. I'm not going to make, I'm not going to hustle anymore. That doesn't mean I'm not going to make effort, but I'm not going to hustle. I didn't go into my feelings of being abandoned or rejected or cast out or being ashamed, embarrassed, or anything like that. It was like this feeling of just wanting to treat myself really well. When I caught the thoughts of trying to figure out, am I going to stay in the US or am I going to go back to India now? How is this going to work? Should I get another job? Should I just be with my business? Like all these questions did pop into my head, but I just decided I'm over it. I'm over hustling and pushing and striving. And I'm not going to spend the entire day after I just found out what this news, I'm not going to spend that day trying to figure out the rest of my life in a matter of hours. I'm not going to do that. I just gave myself space. And the most dignified thing you can do is to give space. Give space to yourself, give space to others, whether that's physical space, mental space, emotional space, spiritual space, just let people breathe. And I really did not crowd my space. I gave myself the space to breathe. I even said, I'll give myself X amount of days or X amount of weeks to grieve, just be lost, be in like the energy of it all. And then I decided I'm not even going to put a timeline on that. I'm not going to say, oh, you're only going to get this amount of time to just do nothing and then you have to hustle. I'm not going to do that because that too is a bit of a trick that the mind does. And I was like, no, I'm just going to take it easy. I'm just going to sit back and I'm just going to wait for when I want to move. And when the time comes to move, I will move. Which is so funny because as I've already told you, movement has already started happening with very little or no effort on my part. Not that I'm never going to make effort, but I find it so interesting that my priorities now are to do things in a beautiful, easeful way and not just do things for the sake of doing them. And I remembered what I did for one of my friends when she went through something similar. I just gave her love. I just gave her love. And my first instinct was to pour life into her. And that's what I wanted to do for myself. And that's what I recommend that you do too, if you find it within your parameters. Less than seven or eight hours later, things are already coming to me. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to take the things that are coming to me. I'm just noticing what is coming to me and how it's coming to me and how I'm feeling about what is coming to me. And then also this podcast series was born, and this particular episode was born. That was my day one from start to finish. And this is a timely episode, as in I needed to release this very fast because this just happened. So I have future episodes that are planned that will be released as usual. They've already been recorded. There are three episodes coming up about networking and about community and about building connections, which a lot of that played into this episode. Just the community and the network that I had is actually playing out for me with this whole situation. So I think it's timely. So when a new update happens, or when I've gone through more things that I want to show my work for, I'm going to release another episode related to this topic. But for now, future episodes will just be planned as usual until I have a new update for you. I hope that helped you give yourself permission to feel, to rest, to be at ease, to give yourself permission to panic if that's what you're feeling. You don't have to feel calm and ease. But if you are feeling those emotions come up that tempt you to push harder, work harder, move faster than you are ready or able to. Just know it's not the truth. And that there's things to release here, there's things to acknowledge here, there's things to work with here before you go into action and taking action. Just remember that. Release before action. Okay, my lovelies, I wish you so much love and so much joy. So, my lovelies, may all your perceived losses turn into food, turn into fuel for your dignity and your aliveness. Much love to you. Bye.
