Mm-hmm.

But I remember after the call, going downstairs, my husband was in the basement, and I just, I just looked at him and I said, like, "I'm unemployed," right? And he is, uh, my number one cheerleader, and he was very great about it.

And he said, "I don't want you to worry about it.

We're gonna figure it out." So that was step one, having that support in place, 'cause I don't know what would've happened to me if he didn't do that.

And then, um, there was a lot of time spent in bed or just sitting and thinking, and just going, "If this can happen," and I was so blindsided, "it could happen again." And that was kind of the beginning of, "Maybe I need to s- be my own boss," right? And, um, through the therapy, I had no idea that what I was experiencing was grief and betrayal.

I didn't have words for it.

It was just, I was blindsided.

And so what does that mean to you?
