Shattered: The Guide

Shattered is a practical survival guide for anyone navigating job loss, long-term unemployment, or financial crisis. It's the guide I wish I'd had when I lost everything, written from both sides of the experience, nearly three decades in HR walking people through layoffs, and then living through four of my own.

This isn't a pep talk. It's a working playbook for the worst days, with real programs, real phone numbers, and the moves most people don't know are available to them. Inside you'll find how to triage the first 30 days, file for unemployment and appeal a denial, negotiate severance, generate income fast, cut expenses without losing your footing, access the safety net like SNAP, Medicaid, and LIHEAP, navigate a hiring process built on ATS and AI, and protect your mental health when there's no money for it.

It's free. Take what you need, and pass it to anyone who needs it too.
