After experiencing 126 Days of unemployment after an unexpected lay off, Shannon Weatherly began to document what she learned and lived as a result of losing her job.  Many said, "You should turn this into a book", but instead....it's a podcast.  In this episode, Shannon details her experience of unemployment, lessons learned, and sets the stage for what's to come with the launch of 126 Days:  Stories on Life & Work. 

In this episode, you'll hear Shannon talk about how 126 days of unemployment solidified her understanding of how privilege plays into what people experience during hard times.  She details specific events where she was challenged and her eyes opened to seeing what unemployment could teach her about herself, but mostly about those who are less resourced.  Realizing so many have a story about unemployment, underemployment, workplace trauma and challenges faced in workplaces, Shannon launched her podcast, 126 Days:  Stories on Life & Work.
