Monday morning. No alarm went off. No commute. No meetings. You're lying in bed at 9am and the silence is deafening — yesterday you had a purpose, and today you have an empty calendar.
What started with the first morning after just got more complicated. Now you need to create structure and purpose when external structure disappears — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Negotiating severance when your brain is still in fight-or-flight mode — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
