About Opened To Work
Created for the in-between, for the people who’ve been laid off, quit, burned out, or are simply figuring out what comes next in their career.
Here, we talk about the real stuff that happens when work ends and life feels uncertain, the pause before the next step, the mix of relief, fear, and possibility that comes with change. Whether you left by choice or circumstance, you’re not alone, and you’re not starting from scratch...you’re starting from experience.
Through personal essays, candid interviews, and shared stories, Opened to Work explores what it means to rest, rebuild, and reimagine your career (and yourself) on your own terms. We also share practical tips, resources, and advice to help you navigate the job search, stay grounded, and rediscover your sense of purpose along the way.
So, if you’ve ever found yourself in between jobs, dreams, or directions, welcome. This is your space to laugh, reflect, learn, and take the next step, whatever that looks like for you.
You're in Good Company
Let’s face it — you’re here for a reason. Only you know what that is, but whatever brought you here, you’re in the right place.
Maybe you were laid off. Maybe you needed a break. Or maybe you’re just looking for a little inspiration (and some good reads). Either way, Opened to Work is here to offer stories, insights, and a sense of connection for wherever you are in your journey.
