You've made the difficult but necessary decision to lay off a portion of your company.
Not because the business is struggling, but because AI is allowing you to do more with fewer.
You've been generous with severance, benefits, cash, and tech.
The only thing missing? A human to help them adjust to the outside and get their feet under themselves.
And not a human who only knows this stuff in theory, but a relatable one who's been living what your employees are about to.
I'm Emily Burnett, former tech manager turned author and lover of life in all its uncertainty—and I've had a lot of it.
In 2022, I chose to leave the safety of a cush tech job for my own stuff. I've navigated nontraditional health benefits, gotten scrappy for income, and written two books for an employee audience about autonomy, taking risks, and creating a meaningful life/work.
I love helping others face the future with financial plans, more self-trust, resilience, and a sense of adventure.
