Welcome to the 50th episode of the Career Revolution! A person's career is one area in their life that they look at less, plan for less & strategize less than anything else in their life. Wake up world! Let's look at your career and create the one you want.

050 Seven Tips to Create Your Perfect Day with Dr. CK Bray

What happens when the career you spent decades building suddenly ends before you’re ready? You’re not alone, and this episode is for you.

Dr. Bray dives into the growing phenomenon of late-career layoffs after several friends and clients have experienced a surprise layoff when they least expected it. Dr. Bray discusses what this means for your identity, finances, and future. Whether you’re in your late 40s, 50s, or 60s, staring down an unexpected layoff, or just want to prepare for what’s ahead, this is the conversation no one else is having… but everyone needs to hear.

Dr. Bray will explore:

• Why getting laid off later in life hits harder (hint: your brain chemistry and identity are involved)
• The emotional fallout no one talks about, and how to start feeling human again
• What neuroscience tells us about resilience and reinvention (yes, your brain is still wired for growth)
• Real-world transitions from full-time execs to fractional leaders, consultants, and purpose-driven career pivots
• Powerful tools you can use today to reframe your mindset and build momentum

You’ll walk away with science-backed insight, actionable strategies, and maybe even a little bit of hope. Because your best years might not be behind you, they might look different from what you expected.

This podcast isn’t about survival. It’s about reinvention. And it starts here.

QUOTES BY DR. BRAY
“Aging isn’t what stalls a career; irrelevance is.”
“You may not be ready to stop working, but for sure you are ready to work differently.”
“You’re the sum of everything over the years that you’ve learned, contributed and overcome—and really, you’re just getting started.”
