<v Speaker 2>I was fired from my job.

<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I'm sorry.

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 2>But wait. She also goes on to say that the

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>job she got fired from was not really high on

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.279
<v Speaker 2>her passion list. She was like, okay, so now she's

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>ready to pivot, ready to roll into some other new adventure, right,

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>so talk about Cheyenne.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So, I've actually been a legal assistant for like

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>six years, and I enjoyed it as much as you could,

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 3>I guess. But I've always wanted to be a nurse

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 3>and work in a hospital setting, and I feel like

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 3>this really just made me realize that I should take

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 3>a chance and go back to school and try to

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 3>hit that goal.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I love that.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 2>I Yeah, you know what, A lot of people listening

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>to this right now, including maybe people in this room,

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>are thinking, Wow, to have a chance to go pursue

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>something else, something that you're passionate about. In a way,

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you're forced to do that, So here you go. I

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>think that's awesome.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 4>I feel like there was someone that that happened to

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 4>here years ago who worked here. I'm not going to

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 4>say names, and they were trying to think about what

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 4>they should do next, and then they wound up getting

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 4>let go. And honestly, they still tell me to this day,

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 4>was this kickstart that they needed, that swift kick in

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 4>the pants to get them to the next level of

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 4>where they truly needed to be and now they are thriving.

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 4>Actually we know two people like that, yep, two people

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 4>from you know that made this decision. So I think

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 4>it's great things ahead.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, scary scary nursing, you should consider that. Yeah. So

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the sting of being fired, though, is there You're like, okay,

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, great, let it let it sting, Let it

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>hurt for a second, and then just get out there.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Use that as your propulsion to to roll into being

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>a nurse or getting into the hospital scene. Well, yeah, gandhi,

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>what do you think?

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 3>So?

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Was getting fired a complete surprise? Did you kind of

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like it was coming? And do you feel like

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it was justified?

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, I had a talk with my manager a couple

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 3>of weeks ago, and I was completely blindsided. And I

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 3>just feel like this last couple of weeks they were

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 3>really trying to find an excuse to get me out,

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 3>and I do feel like it was not justified. They

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 3>didn't give me any proof when they fired me. It

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 3>was just yesterday that this happened, and I let them know.

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 3>I didn't think it was the right decision and I

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 3>was not okay with it, so I didn't agree to

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 3>sign anything or anything like that. They were, yeah, they

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 3>were voicing that they really liked me as a person,

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 3>but it was a business decision, and I was just like, okay,

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 3>well try to keep my head up and just leave.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, you know what, now you just focus on you.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>When would they ever say, you know, we don't like

0:03:55.320 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>you as a person, right right, job, so please please

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>don't leave it, leave us. We want you here.

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 4>Could you imagine I think they can get sued for that,

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 4>couldn't they?

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I know that entire entertainment industry.

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Sued for keeping you.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>No, not for keeping you, but like, yeah, I don't

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>really like you too much.

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Why what's illegal about that? That's okay, Well I don't

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>like you either, idiot, but yeah, okay, So the opportunity

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>to be forced to reset this is it. You should

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>be so happy. It's scary, you know what. You should

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>be so happy that this is going on. I know

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>it's it's it's easy for me to say I got

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a job and they don't like me.

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 4>Some people can do this really well and just take

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 4>the bull by the horns and be like, I'm good,

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 4>I got this, now's my time. And then there are

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 4>other people who will just wallow in the self pity

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 4>and then say, oh, well is me forever and not

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 4>get up. So I think you need to go to

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 4>the other side and make sure you just get up

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 4>and keep on going.

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree with one hundred percent. I did have

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 3>moments where I was crying, of course, because we just

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 3>bought a house. Me and my husband just bought a

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 3>house six months ago. We've been having issues since it's

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>an old house, so it's just been stressful. But I'm

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 3>ready for a change.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Good good. Can you deserve one?

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>There's a part of me that's like mildly jealous, not

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>of getting fired. Please don't get any idea historian.

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 2>No, we don't like you, but you're doing a great job.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Perfect.

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>But I think about how cool it would be to

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>go back to school as an adult when I don't

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>have to, just to be able to learn something that

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to learn on my own terms and doing

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it completely differently than I did before, because now I

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>want to learn something. So I think that that's gonna

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>be awesome for you if you decide to do it.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I am so excited. I was actually already registered

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 3>in every thing for this fall, so I'm just going

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 3>to start full time for you.

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Wow, how many people are listening to this right

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>now wishing they were in your situation?

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, you know that's great.

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Are too scared to take that chance or anything?

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And also when you get fired sometimes it ignites self doubt,

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, wouldn't me? The people who fire me were

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 2>all scumbags. Yeah, they fired me for all the wrong reasons.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Fine look at me now, bitches, But yeah, don't let that,

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>don't let that self doubt creep in. I don't think

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>you're I don't think you're about to do that because

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 2>you know for a fact that they made a mistake

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 2>in letting you go. But wow, what a great mistake

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:47.440
