December 2025 my husband died suddenly.  

October 2023 my dad died 6 weeks after a Glioblastoma diagnosis.

April 2010 my mom died 11 weeks after a lung cancer diagnosis. 

Our family has experienced an inordinate amount of heartache and loss.

And I’ve also realized over and over again how much life changes in an instant. 

Hustle is great. Moving up the ladder is great. 

But tomorrow is NOT guaranteed.

Putting off joy and vacations and PTO and life for later is a gamble no one should take.

Achieve your dreams. Work hard. Have goals. But please make sure you’re present and you make memories 

Because some day those memories will be all you have to hold close.

I guarantee that amazing work project or promotion will be forgotten.

This from someone who sacrificed career for caretaker and financially now isn’t in the place I could be. 

But memories are forever and I will never regret those.

Home Depot just announced 800 layoffs AND return to office 5 days a week for workers. 

While this is consistent with trends these days - hire too many and lay people off without care, and then force butts in seats…

Doing this all at once is a double gut punch. 

Remaining workers will now absorb extra work and be required to be in-office to do it.

After losing my husband suddenly last month, and the chaos that has entailed since, I can’t imagine working in an office 5 days a week for an employer who may lay me off soon anyway. 

Actually I can. I did work for managers and companies like that when I lost my mom, had numerous miscarriages and my son was diagnosed with life-changing diseases.

Home Depot is laying people off to increase speed and agility - aka likely AI and to appease shareholders and increase revenue. 

Bottom line is bottom line. That’s all they care about.  So make sure you care about you. 

Make yourself relevant at work. Work hard and make an impact because that’s who you are and you believe in what you do.

But make yourself relevant outside of work even more. Your family doesn’t need more speed and agility and won’t lay you off.

And you never know when you’ll lose them.

Be a good human

I’m excited to share my new job and project!!!!!


My holiday drive raised $7000 for presents for kids whose parents have been laid off.

I want to do it again… but with birthday gifts.

https://lnkd.in/eH5gAR4k

My husband Joe LOVED buying gifts and was the best gift giver.

Here’s a way to honor him 

As I just celebrated my husband’s birthday, the first one without him, I realize how important it is celebrate everything 

And kids all deserve a present for their birthdays.

Birthdays are often the first to go when laid off parents just need to pay the electric bill. 

I remember the stress so well. 

Would you be willing to contribute? 

My hope is to get wishlists from parents and spend between 50-75 per child of a laid off parent.

I could use your help as unfortunately I cannot donate thousand dollars as I did in December now.

I am happy to provide receipts, pics for proof as I was accused of scamming people by a few on LinkedIn. 

In a time when my world came crashing down, the best way for me to stand tall again is to be able to shine the light and help community 

I hope you’ll help, too. 

The Joe Carpineto birthday drive begins now…

If you have a child with a birthday wish you’d like to fulfill please comment below 

If you’d like to help I’m including the link in comments (and other ways if you’d prefer) 

If you can comment, like, share, suggest people who may need help 

Let’s make a difference in supporting kids and laid off parents 

And in Joe’s memory 💕

This last month since I lost my husband has been about surviving… not thriving.

Surviving non-stop house issues 

Huge snow storms

Sick kids 

Grief 

A celebration of life 

Mountains of paperwork 

Bratty dogs 

My kids and I… we’ve survived and honestly sometimes that IS thriving. 

Not every day is easy or sunshine and roses or belongs on a motivational calendar 

And when I spent time the last few weeks looking at pics for a slide show at my husband’s celebration…

This picture… an early on anniversary pic.. reminds me that memories never fade 

And surviving will turn to thriving again.

If you’d like to help our boys… we’re so appreciative

Amazon has announced they are laying off 16,000 people. 

16 THOUSAND.  

They did go on to say that laying people off every few months isn’t their new rhythm. 

But it sure seems that way. Could have fooled me 

And UPS is laying off 30,000, ironically enough as they stop shipping low cost Amazon packages. 

30 THOUSAND. 


This is certainly part of AI. But it is not just a tech issue or an AI one 

If you’re employed, even happily….

Make sure you keep a brag book NOW so you remember 

Keep you Resume updated and relevant 

Take the call from a friend of recruiter and make an intro for them if you’re not interested. You never know if you’ll need them. 

Update LinkedIn with new accomplishments NOW

And realize networking is NOT transactional. It’s every day community building. Do it now not when you need help. 

And if you’re laid off or you see the red flags?  🚩 Take advice with a grain of salt but always advocate fiercely for you and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Now or later 

How can I help?

Posting about being a mom on LinkedIn is unprofessional. 



People always comment on my posts about mom’ing and asking if it belongs here. 

I need to hide being a mom in interviews, in phone calls, and now on LinkedIn posts too?

I can’t hide the most important aspect of my life and the job that’s provided me with more skills than any other in my career. 

I am a mom. First. Always. 

I am a working mom. Always.

I believe in advocating for women in the workplace. 

I believe in paid parental leave/ paid caretaker leave. Better access to childcare. 

I believe in talking about how being a working mom isn’t all rainbows and puppy dogs 

AND how I wanted to be a stay at home mom when my kids were little. 

I talk about how my career suffered because I stayed at jobs that allowed flexibility

And I apologize for none of it. 

We need companies to support working moms (and dads and caretakers)

We need products that cater to this demographic 

We need to be confident in who we are, and for me that’s a mom. 

I can’t hide who I am… it goes against all I believe in. 

In and out of work. 

Be a good human.

Our whole work team is together this week without me. I wasn’t invited.



Ok, I’m just kidding.  I uninvited myself. 

I was actually supposed to speak and train teams at our annual kick-off. I look forward every year to the energy it brings and being in-person with so many people. 

I’ve been working non-stop for the last 15 months on big impactful projects I was excited to train on.

But only a month out from losing my husband, and helping my boys figure out this “new” life, traveling wasn’t in the plans.

It will be again someday. Maybe a few months, maybe 6.  Who knows.

Life and grief and kid’s well-being has no timelines. 

It’s all dependent on how my kids are, childcare plans, ability to make it work. 

Life is infinitely more complicated now that I’m an only parent 

And my kids are grieving their biggest cheerleader.

Life is hard. So hard. But what I AM grateful for is a team that has stood by me.

Picked up the slack. Said don’t worry, care for your family. 

I didn’t take any bereavement leave, just a week of already scheduled PTO the week of Christmas when my husband died.

But I know I can take time. I know things will get done. I know I’ll be supported. 

And I know I can still do amazing things at work while taking care of the two most important things in my life - my sons. 

That to me is work/life balance. Not some equal time… that never works

As I work through mountains of paperwork and what if’s the next few months, I’ll be working long hours until April on this project, too.

And then I’ll take a much needed breather

But until then? I am grateful to not just be employed, but to be valued.

I’ll still miss my co-workers this week. Being on a Teams call just isn’t the same 

Be a good human.

Dow chemical is laying off 4500 people worldwide so they can transform to outperform 

Aka more AI.  And yet somehow the labor market is stable and all is well in the world…

Amazon layoffs = 16k
UPS = 30,000 (attrition or not) 
Home Depot = 800
Pinterest = 15% of employees around 700 to focus on AI

This isn’t a tech problem. This is a market problem.

If you’re employed and reading this PLEASE keep networking NOW

Show up on LinkedIn. Post. Comment. Be relevant, relatable, and available.

I have seen so many open to work posts the last few days from people who haven’t networked or been on LinkedIn since the last time they were job searching. 

Start from a position of power.

Because whether we want to believe it or not, ALL of us are just one number on a spreadsheet away from redundancy 

And for those who are solopreneurs, keep contacts because business ownership isn’t a guarantee either 

Be a good human. Look out for YOU and help your community, too.

If you’ve been impacted by layoffs I hope to open more 15 minute coaching chats in coming weeks, likely end of February, just for a quick plan and see how I can help - no money or pitching.

1 month into the year and this post holds true. 

The word present and along with adding grace remain my words this year.

What was Month 1 like for you?

Be a good human

Being a widow at 49 years old is not how I could have imagined 2025 ending.

But here I am with this new “label.”


2025 saw endless challenges but I was also able to raise 7k to buy gifts for kids whose parents have been laid off 

I was able to take on a new job at work and had to absorb the work of others after layoffs and do it well 

I was able to start my coaching business - helping 12 paid clients land jobs and giving away 75+ hours of free coaching. 

I don’t know what 2026 will hold for our family - but I know it won’t be easy. And I know my boys deserve the best. 

So my word of the year is present. 

Present for my kids. For myself. For life. For Joe’s legacy 

Because time is something we never have enough of. 

I will carry on Joe’s legacy of kindness 

Be a good human

No is a full sentence.

Setting boundaries doesn’t make you less of a team player. 

Advocating for yourself doesn’t make you overpowering. 

Giving your opinions and sharing expertise doesn’t make you overbearing. 

Asking for what you believe is fair doesn’t make you difficult 

Being confident doesn’t make you rude. 

Negotiating doesn’t make you ungrateful. 

Instead being an employee who is respected, valued, listened to and paid fairly makes you an asset 

Don’t let anyone tell you differently. The more confidence you have with a keen ability to speak up AND listen, the more you’ll bring to the world 

Be a good human.

REFUSE TO QUIT. In 1982, a twenty-year-old Jon Bongiovi was broke, desperate, and watching his dream die.

Jon slept in his car and ate whatever he could afford. Jon was repeatedly rejected by record labels, told that rock and roll was finished.

MTV had just launched. New Wave was taking over. Nobody wanted guitar-driven rock anymore. Nobody except this kid from Sayreville, New Jersey, who refused to quit.

Jon worked as a janitor at Power Station Studios in NYC, one of the biggest in the world. He swept floors, but when everyone had gone home, Jon would sneak into the studio and record demos during leftover time.

One night in 1982, a local radio DJ named Chip Hobart heard one of Jon's demos. The song was called "Runaway". It was a story about a girl escaping her life and refusing to be held down.

Chip played it on his radio show, and the phone lines exploded. Suddenly, this song that no record label wanted was the most requested song on the station. Album #1 was a success

By 1986, the pressure was crushing. Bon Jovi’s second album had underperformed. Some called them a one-hit wonder. If the third album failed, they'd be dropped. Jon was twenty-four, with his entire career on the line.

So he did what he always did: worked harder than everyone else. Jon and Richie locked themselves away, writing obsessively. Jon understood something most rock stars missed: People don't want perfection. They want a connection.

The song was about Tommy and Gina. It was the story of every kid in New Jersey, every working-class family in America, every person who'd ever fought to keep going. The song was "Livin' on a Prayer."  

The album Slippery When Wet sold over 28 million copies worldwide.

After Slippery When Wet, Bon Jovi became one of the biggest bands in the world, but Jon never forgot where he came from.

In 2011, Jon opened JBJ Soul Kitchen. A nonprofit restaurant where people can volunteer in exchange for meals if they can't afford to pay. No questions asked. No judgment. Just food and dignity.

He's built affordable housing for homeless veterans. He's donated millions to charity. He did it quietly, without fanfare. Because Jon Bon Jovi never forgot what it felt like to be broke, desperate, and invisible.

But Jon's real legacy isn't the record sales. It's this: He proved you don't have to be the most talented. You just have to refuse to quit.

Because sometimes the difference between failure and success is refusing to stop trying. That's all it takes to change everything.

Wishing everyone an inspiring weekend.
