Speaker 1: Get your hands together and we're going to start to
Speaker 1: party and start party. I'm ready to party the Elvis
Speaker 1: Duran after Party.
Speaker 2: It's the After Party Podcast. Hi, guys, got a text
Speaker 2: from Cheyenne, and uh, I want I want to see
Speaker 2: how she's doing. Let's do a health a healthcare check,
Speaker 2: well a wellness check on Cheyenne. How are you doing, Cheyenne.
Speaker 3: I a great thank you.
Speaker 2: Which it's an honor speak to you. Okay, you're considering.
Speaker 2: So her text simply said, I just got let go.
Speaker 2: I was fired from my job.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: But wait. She also goes on to say that the
Speaker 2: job she got fired from was not really high on
Speaker 2: her passion list. She was like, okay, so now she's
Speaker 2: ready to pivot, ready to roll into some other new adventure, right,
Speaker 2: so talk about Cheyenne.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I've actually been a legal assistant for like
Speaker 3: six years, and I enjoyed it as much as you could,
Speaker 3: I guess. But I've always wanted to be a nurse
Speaker 3: and work in a hospital setting, and I feel like
Speaker 3: this really just made me realize that I should take
Speaker 3: a chance and go back to school and try to
Speaker 3: hit that goal.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 2: I Yeah, you know what, A lot of people listening
Speaker 2: to this right now, including maybe people in this room,
Speaker 2: are thinking, Wow, to have a chance to go pursue
Speaker 2: something else, something that you're passionate about. In a way,
Speaker 2: you're forced to do that, So here you go. I
Speaker 2: think that's awesome.
Speaker 4: I feel like there was someone that that happened to
Speaker 4: here years ago who worked here. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: say names, and they were trying to think about what
Speaker 4: they should do next, and then they wound up getting
Speaker 4: let go. And honestly, they still tell me to this day,
Speaker 4: was this kickstart that they needed, that swift kick in
Speaker 4: the pants to get them to the next level of
Speaker 4: where they truly needed to be and now they are thriving.
Speaker 4: Actually we know two people like that, yep, two people
Speaker 4: from you know that made this decision. So I think
Speaker 4: it's great things ahead.
Speaker 2: Wow, scary scary nursing, you should consider that. Yeah. So
Speaker 2: the sting of being fired, though, is there You're like, okay,
Speaker 2: you know, great, let it let it sting, Let it
Speaker 2: hurt for a second, and then just get out there.
Speaker 2: Use that as your propulsion to to roll into being
Speaker 2: a nurse or getting into the hospital scene. Well, yeah, gandhi,
Speaker 2: what do you think?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Was getting fired a complete surprise? Did you kind of
Speaker 1: feel like it was coming? And do you feel like
Speaker 1: it was justified?
Speaker 3: Honestly, I had a talk with my manager a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and I was completely blindsided. And I
Speaker 3: just feel like this last couple of weeks they were
Speaker 3: really trying to find an excuse to get me out,
Speaker 3: and I do feel like it was not justified. They
Speaker 3: didn't give me any proof when they fired me. It
Speaker 3: was just yesterday that this happened, and I let them know.
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was the right decision and I
Speaker 3: was not okay with it, so I didn't agree to
Speaker 3: sign anything or anything like that. They were, yeah, they
Speaker 3: were voicing that they really liked me as a person,
Speaker 3: but it was a business decision, and I was just like, okay,
Speaker 3: well try to keep my head up and just leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, you know what, now you just focus on you.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: When would they ever say, you know, we don't like
Speaker 2: you as a person, right right, job, so please please
Speaker 2: don't leave it, leave us. We want you here.
Speaker 4: Could you imagine I think they can get sued for that,
Speaker 4: couldn't they?
Speaker 1: I know that entire entertainment industry.
Speaker 2: Sued for keeping you.
Speaker 1: No, not for keeping you, but like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: really like you too much.
Speaker 2: Why what's illegal about that? That's okay, Well I don't
Speaker 2: like you either, idiot, but yeah, okay, So the opportunity
Speaker 2: to be forced to reset this is it. You should
Speaker 2: be so happy. It's scary, you know what. You should
Speaker 2: be so happy that this is going on. I know
Speaker 2: it's it's it's easy for me to say I got
Speaker 2: a job and they don't like me.
Speaker 4: Some people can do this really well and just take
Speaker 4: the bull by the horns and be like, I'm good,
Speaker 4: I got this, now's my time. And then there are
Speaker 4: other people who will just wallow in the self pity
Speaker 4: and then say, oh, well is me forever and not
Speaker 4: get up. So I think you need to go to
Speaker 4: the other side and make sure you just get up
Speaker 4: and keep on going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with one hundred percent. I did have
Speaker 3: moments where I was crying, of course, because we just
Speaker 3: bought a house. Me and my husband just bought a
Speaker 3: house six months ago. We've been having issues since it's
Speaker 3: an old house, so it's just been stressful. But I'm
Speaker 3: ready for a change.
Speaker 2: Good good. Can you deserve one?
Speaker 1: There's a part of me that's like mildly jealous, not
Speaker 1: of getting fired. Please don't get any idea historian.
Speaker 2: No, we don't like you, but you're doing a great job.
Speaker 3: Perfect.
Speaker 1: But I think about how cool it would be to
Speaker 1: go back to school as an adult when I don't
Speaker 1: have to, just to be able to learn something that
Speaker 1: I want to learn on my own terms and doing
Speaker 1: it completely differently than I did before, because now I
Speaker 1: want to learn something. So I think that that's gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome for you if you decide to do it.
Speaker 3: Yes, I am so excited. I was actually already registered
Speaker 3: in every thing for this fall, so I'm just going
Speaker 3: to start full time for you.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, how many people are listening to this right
Speaker 2: now wishing they were in your situation?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Exactly, you know that's great.
Speaker 3: Are too scared to take that chance or anything?
Speaker 2: And also when you get fired sometimes it ignites self doubt,
Speaker 2: you know, wouldn't me? The people who fire me were
Speaker 2: all scumbags. Yeah, they fired me for all the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2: Fine look at me now, bitches, But yeah, don't let that,
Speaker 2: don't let that self doubt creep in. I don't think
Speaker 2: you're I don't think you're about to do that because
Speaker 2: you know for a fact that they made a mistake
Speaker 2: in letting you go. But wow, what a great mistake
Speaker 2: they made for you.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I just want to let you guys know
Speaker 3: that listening to you guys for years and hearing everyone's stories,
Speaker 3: it helps me feel like I really can do it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I just you guys are an inspiration.
