The Reality
The gap is the space between the career you've had and the one you haven't built yet.
No job. No income. No certainty.
It can happen to anyone. Redundancy. Restructure. A role that quietly disappears. One morning you're employed. By lunchtime you're not.
The people who navigate it well aren't the ones who just saw it coming.
They're the ones who saw it coming and took action before it arrived.
The Problem
Most people don't move. Not because they can't see the signs. Because the signs aren't painful enough yet.
The salary still lands. The routine still holds. The discomfort isn't sharp enough to force action.
So they wait. They watch. They tell themselves they'll prepare when it gets closer.
Then it's not closer. It's here. And everything they planned to do before is now everything they have to do while standing in it.
