    Life Changes When People (And Yourself) Believe in You (w/ Nate Gonzalez)

    In this episode, Nathaniel Gonzalez opens up about the internal battles that shaped his life — from craving social acceptance as a young boy to pushing himself into unhealthy behaviors just to impress his peers. He reflects on how that need to be liked led him into environments and habits that didn’t serve him, and how alcohol became his emotional home whenever stress or pressure hit. Nathaniel shares the turning points that forced him to confront these patterns, including the moment he realized he was drifting away from the man he wanted to become. Through discipline, faith, and a commitment to healthier habits like running and fitness, he transformed not only his body but his mindset, breaking free from the negative cycles that once held him back. He also talks about the powerful advice he received as a kid from his elderly neighbor, who told him, “I know you’re going to own a business one day — just be sure to give back.” Nathaniel carried that promise into adulthood, and today he’s building a business rooted in service, community impact, and genuine care for the people around him. From mental health to mentorship, from resilience to responsibility, Nathaniel’s story is a raw and inspiring look at what it means to grow, heal, and build a life with purpose — not just for yourself, but for the community that raised you.

    Lost My Job But Not Myself: How to Embrace Layoffs with Grace and Positivity

    In a world where job security is increasingly uncertain, experiencing a layoff can feel like a personal defeat. However, as we explore in this episode of Not Done Yet, Ruby Gill shares her powerful journey of resilience and perspective following her layoffs. Through her story, we uncover the importance of mindset and the transformative power of viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth. Ruby's story begins with a heartfelt LinkedIn post announcing her layoff. Her message was not just an update; it was an embodiment of grace and professionalism. Unlike her first layoff, where she felt devastated and took it personally, Ruby approached her second layoff with a different mindset. She recognized the red flags leading up to it and was mentally preparing herself for the possibility. This foresight allowed her to navigate the situation with a level head, focusing on the next steps instead of drowning in despair. Ruby contrasts her two layoff experiences vividly. The first was marked by tears and feelings of inadequacy. She recalls how she took it personally, feeling like her worth was tied to her job. This experience taught her that layoffs are often not personal; they are business decisions. With her second layoff, Ruby's approach shifted significantly. She realized that her identity wasn’t defined by her job, and she began to see layoffs as a chance to reassess her life and career. During this period, she emphasized gratitude for her abilities and the opportunities she had to travel and explore. One of the key themes in Ruby's narrative is the strength found in vulnerability. By sharing her story on LinkedIn, she connected with her network in a way that was both authentic and empowering. Ruby's journey shows that it's okay to feel uncertain and scared after a layoff, but it’s essential to channel those feelings into a constructive approach. Rather than succumbing to negativity, she advocates for maintaining a positive outlook and recognizing one’s value. Ruby's experience also highlights the need for self-reflection during challenging times. After her first layoff, she found herself in interviews where her negativity impacted her chances. This realization prompted a shift in how she presented herself, emphasizing the importance of confidence and positivity. Ruby learned that instead of focusing on what went wrong, she needed to embrace her skills and approach future opportunities with optimism. Ruby Gill's story is a testament to the power of perspective in the face of adversity. By transforming her approach to layoffs from one of personal despair to a mindset of gratitude and growth, she has equipped herself with valuable lessons for the future. Key takeaways from her journey include the importance of maintaining a positive outlook, understanding that layoffs are not personal, and the power of self-reflection in shaping one’s career path. In a world where setbacks are inevitable, it is our perspective that ultimately defines our journey.
