Logged Out, Waking Up: A Career Recovery Guide for Rebuilding Identity, Energy, and Direction After Job Loss (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199485005)

Job loss does not just take your paycheck. It can take your rhythm, confidence, identity, and sense of direction.

Logged Out, Waking Up is a practical and compassionate career recovery guide for professionals trying to rebuild after a layoff, termination, burnout, or unexpected career disruption.

If you have been laid off, pushed out, offboarded, or left wondering what comes next, this book helps you slow down long enough to recover before rushing into another version of the same cycle.

This is not a generic job search book telling you to simply update your resume, network harder, and stay positive. It is a guide for the deeper part of career loss: the identity shift, the emotional exhaustion, the loss of structure, the fear of becoming invisible, and the quiet question many professionals carry after job loss:

Who am I without the title?

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Recover emotionally after job loss without pretending you are fine
• Rebuild your professional identity after being laid off or offboarded
• Restore energy, confidence, and daily structure during career transition
• Separate your worth from your job title, employer, or employment status
• Recognize the difference between urgency and direction
• Create a healthier plan for your next chapter
• Move forward without rushing into the wrong role out of fear

Logged Out, Waking Up is especially helpful for mid-career professionals, experienced workers, leaders, managers, corporate employees, and anyone who feels disoriented after a sudden career exit.

Whether you are recently laid off, months into a difficult job search, burned out from corporate life, or trying to rebuild your confidence after being let go, this book gives you language for what you are experiencing and a practical path forward.

You are not finished. You are in transition.

Your career did not end when you were logged out. But something important may be waking up.
