Redundancy. Layoffs. The brutal uncertainty of job hunting. Now What? is the honest, practical podcast for anyone navigating life after redundancy in the UK — covering confidence, job search strategy, interview prep, rejection, flexible working, career change and the emotional reality of trying to hold everything together while your inbox does nothing. Hosted by someone living it in real time, not dispensing advice from a mountain. New episodes weekly.
After the best part of a year and somewhere north of a hundred applications, I've been offered a role and this episode is the honest version of what that actually feels like, recorded a while before I've even started, with none of the hindsight smoothed in yet.
The specific flinch of not trusting good news, what it costs to lose a routine you didn't choose but got attached to, and what genuinely felt different about this last stretch of interviews compared to the ones before it — including the one piece of real feedback that changed how I answered questions from that point on.
This also closes out season one. Season two returns in a couple of weeks on a fortnightly cadence, with a shift in focus towards the voices of people still navigating this in real time, and specialists who can bring perspectives I don't have on my own and topics that I know have supported me as I navigated my own journey.
Thank you for forty episodes of company — genuinely.
