A layoff can happen to anyone - even the most qualified, most hardworking woman in the room. And the companies aren't slowing down. 113,000+ workers have already been let go in 2026 alone. So this post isn't about fear. It's about being prepared.

Here are the 5 financial moves to make the moment you're laid off:
1️⃣ Protect your cash flow first
2️⃣ Leave your retirement accounts alone
3️⃣ Negotiate your severance - don't just sign
4️⃣ Put your savings in a HYSA earning 4–5% APY
5️⃣ Rebuild income, not just your resumé

Save this. You might not need it today - but someone you know does.

Drop a 🙋🏽‍♀️ if you or someone you love has been laid off this year.
