Laid Off After 10 Years — The Money Conversation Every Woman Needs to Have

In this inspiring episode of Catch Her Spark, Jen Maldonado sits down with Senior Technical Account Manager Nicole LeBeau Fomin to talk about resilience, financial independence, career growth, and the mindset that helped her rebuild after being laid off from a company where she had invested ten years of her life.

Nicole shares her journey from waiting tables and working customer service jobs while paying her way through college to managing multimillion-dollar client relationships in the tech industry. Along the way, she explains why curiosity, trust, and strong boundaries have been the foundation of every career opportunity she's earned.

The conversation goes beyond careers and dives into one of the most important topics women often avoid—money. Nicole discusses why every woman should understand her finances, maintain personal savings, invest for the future, and build financial security regardless of her relationship status.

Jen and Nicole also explore the importance of mentorship, accepting constructive feedback, thinking critically in today's information-heavy world, and leading with empathy without sacrificing healthy boundaries.
