About this listen

 This space is for seasoned UXers and knowledge workers navigating uncertainty at work. There are no scripts. No big conclusions. No studio setup. We are here to think and reflect. To reconnect with what matters to you about your career, confidence, and direction. You will hear a peer. Not a broadcaster. More voice note than a podcast. Like a message from a friend. If you want to talk about any of this, email me at contact@careerwithmel.com.Mel (UX Career Coach)

  • Confidence When Rejection and Layoffs Hit

    Confidence When Rejection and Layoffs Hit
    Jan 14 2026

    This first voice note is about what happens to confidence after rejection and layoffs.

    Even for senior UXers, repeated “no’s” can slowly change how you see yourself and how you talk about your work.

    In this episode, I share real client moments, the pattern I see again and again, and one small experiment to help you reconnect with your strengths and your story.

    No hype. No fixing. Just an honest reflection and something practical to try.
