EP 19. Trust, Not Panic: How I’m Navigating My Layoff with Peace & Power

Evie Prete Season 1 Episode 19

In this powerful and deeply personal solo episode, Evie shares the unexpected news of being laid off—and why she's meeting it with peace, purpose, and a powerful plan. From triathlon triumphs to guided visualizations and podcast consistency, August was full of momentum—and this curveball was no exception.

Evie opens up about what it means to be laid off (again), why she’s not trippin’, and how she’s turning this moment of redirection into a season of reinvention. You’ll hear the story of her first layoff at age 25, how that moment sparked her commitment to financial stability, and the exact steps she's taken to recession-proof her life today.

This episode is an invitation to see uncertainty not as failure, but as divine redirection. 

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Whether you've been recently laid off or fear it's around the corner, Evie breaks down:

  • The 3 reasons she's financially unfazed
  • The power of an emergency fund and severance negotiation
  • Why your network is your net worth
  • How this is the push she needed to go all in on her business
  • The mindset shift that changed everything—from victim to visionary
