Welcome to AdRIFt™️

Job loss can be sudden, disorienting, and deeply personal. One moment you’re building a future—then everything shifts.

AdRIFt exists to hold space for those moments.

This podcast shares honest, human conversations with people who have experienced a RIF (reduction in force) and are navigating what comes next. We talk about the shock, the grief, the identity shifts, and also the resilience, clarity, and unexpected new beginnings that often follow.

This is not a space for hustle culture, quick fixes, or forced positivity.
It’s a space for truth, dignity, and forward motion.

Because losing a job does not mean losing your worth.
And it does not mean your story is over.

The tide always turns.

Apply to Be a Guest

Have you experienced a layoff and want to share your story? We’d love to hear from you.

Being a guest on AdRIFt is not about having everything figured out. It’s about honesty, reflection, and showing up as you are, wherever you are in the process.

You’re welcome to apply whether:

  • the layoff was recent or years ago

  • you’re actively job hunting or already rebuilding

  • your story feels quiet, messy, unresolved, or hopeful

You’re in control of what feels safe to discuss.


Looking for Your Next Role?

Some guests choose to share what kinds of opportunities they’re exploring as a way to invite community support, referrals, or meaningful connections. This is always optional and shared with care and consent.

If that feels right for you, AdRIFt is here to help amplify your next chapter.

Thank you for being here; for listening, for supporting, and for believing in what comes next.

You’re not adrift forever.
The tide always turns. 🌊
