I got hit with two whammies in one week—and weirdly, I’m starting to think it might not have been a bad thing.

At the beginning of April (2026), my full-time employer told me our time together had come to an end, but thankfully it wasn’t a bad breakup and we’re still on good terms.

That same week on the Friday, my only remaining client also let me go because things had shifted within their organisation and they needed to move in a different direction.

Just like that, after years of working, I suddenly found myself completely jobless.

Almost two months later, I’m finally starting to see some unexpected positives in all of this—but that’s a story for another post.
