Uncertainty Might Be the New Normal, But Isolation Doesn’t Have to Be

When the Ground Keeps Shifting, Let’s Stop Walking Alone

The job market isn’t just competitive, it’s chaotic.
That’s the word Forbes used, and honestly? It fits.

“The current job market is rife with uncertainty, ambiguity and volatility.”
– Jack Kelly, Forbes (April 2025)

There are weeks where I wonder:

• Is today the day I’ll get the email?
• Am I safe, or just silently on borrowed time?
• What more can I possibly do to stand out?

I’ve rewritten my resume 17 different ways.
I’ve used the AI prompts, the recruiter templates, the algorithm-optimized headers.
I’ve leaned on my education, my leadership experience, my passion…and still, the silence can feel deafening.

If you’re here too, please hear this:
You are not alone.
And you were never meant to do this alone.

We are living through a season where the old playbooks don’t work. Where "best practices" feel like whispering into a storm. Where even the most qualified, compassionate, capable people are questioning their value.

But just because uncertainty is sticking around…
Doesn’t mean we have to keep walking through it solo.

That’s why I’m building something new, and honest.
A gathering place. A quiet rebellion against performative leadership and hustle-as-worth.
A space for people-first leaders who are tired of pretending and ready to grow, collaborate, and celebrate each other, even in the messy, hard middle.

If that sounds like you, join me.
 “Lead Like You” Circle

This isn’t just a group. It’s a space for real connection, steady encouragement, and the kind of leadership that starts inside.

Because even when the world feels uncertain…
You don’t have to face it alone.

With you,
Amber Lea
