Hi! 👋🏽 👋🏽 Welcome to the UNSTUCK[MONEY] newsletter! This is the inaugural issue of what I'm proud to say is the official newsletter of UrbanMoneyBudgets, my coaching practice. This month I'm focused on job layoffs. It's no secret that the last few months have been traumatic for a lot of families. A sudden loss of employment sends ripples through a workplace - and a community. It takes an emotional and financial toll. I'm providing a little insight on what you need to do if you think you might be laid off and steps to take if the unthinkable happens. Places to Begin the Search for Your Next EvolutionOften when layoffs happen they can take a person off guard. But rather than focusing on the end of a long-term career, consider it an opportunity to explore your next evolution. It can be the chance to consider a new career direction, a role that pays more, or a completely different industry. Back in 2010, when I was laid off as a managing editor of a news organization, folks were saying, "Congratulations!" because they understood the power of new beginnings. So approach your layoff as the opportunity to find your dream and make it real. Invest in YourselfKick up your self-improvement and professional development. Now's the time. The way to survive and thrive in today's dodge-y job market is to become a lifelong learner. Ensuring financial stability includes making sure your employment is secure. Professional development is a component of a healthy self-care plan. Here are a few resources where you can gain new skills or brush up on old ones. |

Hi! 👋🏽 👋🏽 Welcome to the UNSTUCK[MONEY] newsletter! Let’s be real—a low credit score sucks. Doors slam. Opportunities vanish. And everyone keeps whispering (or yelling) that you can’t move forward until your score “gets better.” Here’s the truth: you don’t need perfect credit to live well. Your score is just a number. It doesn’t measure your grit, your hustle, or the life you’re building. Living well with poor credit is about hacks, workarounds, and taking control. From renting an apartment,...
Hi! 👋🏽 👋🏽 Welcome to the UNSTUCK[MONEY] newsletter! This month, we’re digging into the real cost of college—the stuff that hits after you’ve paid tuition and thought you were done. College isn’t just expensive—it’s a financial minefield. Once tuition’s paid, the real money drain begins. Suddenly you’re bleeding cash on “required” supplies, surprise tech fees, overpriced parking passes, and 20 cents a page to print a syllabus you didn’t even want. This month, we’re blowing the lid off the...
Hi! 👋🏽 👋🏽 Welcome to the UNSTUCK[MONEY] newsletter! This month we're talking about protection. No, not THAT kind of protection.
