So I was like the, you know, main income for our house, right? I was like, um, five months pregnant, laid off.

It was like the start of a lot of the layoffs in like, you know, 2021, so it took me like five months to get a job.
11:15
So I was like almost having a baby by the time I got a job, but this is where I think having a baby is really, um, good luck for me, and it actually accelerates things in my life that need to happen, because I had gotten laid off.

I was already working with a career coach at the time, and we had like planned like, hey, not really happy with sort of like the salary band, you know, that I'm in, and feel like, you know, the, you know, job titles.

You get so much other experience and stuff like that, and I was like, "That's cool, but I think I could be making a lot more money." So anyway, in the process of getting laid off and then finding my next role, my income doubled.
