19. Laid Off From a Dream Job (Twice) with Kelsey Reidl

CareersConfidence

Jan 26

Kelsey Reidl talks to us about her experience getting laid off from a dream job, not once, but twice before the age of 30 and how that affected her confidence and ego at the time. She tells us what it’s like putting your everything into your job and to no fault of your own, how quickly that job can be taken away from you.

Fast forward almost 10 years later, Kelsey finally stopped handing over her best creative ideas to some of Canada’s top brands and started taking matters into her own hands.

Today, Kelsey is the founder of Visionary, Inc., where she provides clarity and easy-to-follow frameworks for those who are looking to take a big leap in their own life.

In this episode we talk about:

Getting laid off
Losing a dream job
Starting a freelance marketing business
Scaling a business with online marketing
Setting boundaries around your schedule
Turning your passion into a side hustle
